Albert Bover

This Barcelona-born pianist started his musical studies first in Barcelona and then at New York’s “New School” in 1989, where he studied with Fred Hersch, Kenny Barron and Barry Harris.

Since then he has gone on to carve himself a career based on many live performances in Spain and around the world, including jazz festivals, award ceremonies and solo shows. He has played with a host of big name jazz players, including Jesse Davis, Marc Johnson, Guy Lafitte, Harold Land, Ed Thigpen, Oliver Jackson, Ralph Moore, Roy Hargrove, Art Farmer, Perico Sambeat, Chano Dominguez, Deborah Davis, Kenny Wheeler and Peter King, to name but a few.

His recording career is no less impressive, with twenty-one appearances as a sideman and three albums as leader, of which one is live; one is with his trio and the other as a duo. He has recorded with saxophonist Perico Sambeat, Bob Sands, and Jose Luis Gamezsh Sound New Talent. His latest recording, “Esmuc Blues” shows off his virtuosity as a live performer as well as his intricate and talented song writing.

Among his current projects are his trio with bass player Chris Higgins (Oregon, USA) and drummer Jorge Rossy (Barcelona, Spain) and a duo with Tete Montoliu’s former bassist, Horacio Fumero.
