Emili Baleriola - Jazz-Rock Trio (2011)

Emili Baleriola, guitar. Vicenç Mas, bass. Raimon Iniesta, drums.

I was born in Barcelona on April 4, 1952 and I went on stage with my guitar for the first time at age 13. Since then, music is my greatest passion. I consider myself a self-taught musician, because even though I had good teachers, I have always been guided by my ear and my intuition to learn, but I am honored to mention Manolo Bolao, Gabriel Rosales, John Scofield and Jack Wilkins.

Over time, many bands have passed through my life which has allowed me to experiment with blues, jazz, rock, pop, funk, latin, making my style a fusion of all these influences. With this power trio, my jazz proposal is expressed in a rock context. Besides my own compositions, I play my versions from some jazz classics as All blues, Song for my father and Donna Lee, among others.
