The Ignasi Terraza Trio, comprising of the remarkable Spanish jazz pianist Ignasi Terraza accompanied by a rhythm section often including a double bassist and a drummer, is regarded as one of the vibrant forces in the European jazz scene. Ignasi Terraza, the pianist and namesake of the trio, has been an influential figure in jazz, establishing his distinct style after losing his sight as a teenager and thus, deepening his connection with music through listening and touch.

The trio's oeuvre showcases a deep reverence for classic jazz standards, with a noticeable penchant for infusing traditional melodies with fresh, inventive improvisations. Albums such as "High up on the Terraza" and its successor "High up on the Terraza II" have been praised for their dynamic range and synergy, illustrating the group's ability to scale the heights of jazz sophistication while remaining grounded in emotive expression. Their notable release, "Imaginant Miró," reveals their capability to venture into the realms of conceptual work, paying homage to fellow Catalan artist, Joan Miró. Other significant contributions include "Jazz a Les Fosques II," demonstrating their commitment to live performance and the aptly titled "Looking Back and Moving Forward," which reflects their philosophy of honoring jazz traditions while pushing musical boundaries. With releases like "Live at the Living Room - Bangkok," the trio has also shared their captivating live performances with a global audience, securing their position as a formidable act in both local and international jazz communities.
