Más información sobre el concurso en www.fundacionalcanal.com. The trio
Igor Prochazka Trio (IPT) was founded at the end of 2006 in the pursuit of original jazz and an own sound that his members missed in other projects. Although IPT has maximum respect for the traditions of Bebop and later eras the group sees his goal in a more innovative and personal Jazz. Open to be influenced by new tendencies, even those from outside of Jazz, they don’t choose the easy way of applying mere style mixes. The imaginative compositions by pianist Igor Prochazka and the excellent improvisation skills of Christian Perez (double bass) and Federico Marini (drums), two of the most demanded musicians in Madrid’s jazz scene, produce a personal and profound character in each song. IPT is truly international trio: the three Madrid-based musicians come from USA, Argentina and Germany. It is the universality of their interpretation of Jazz that unites their musical roots. June 2007 IPT won the first prize in the Jazz category in the nation-wide band contest “Audiciones” run by Fundación Canal (Madrid, Spain). Contact
