Ignasi Terraza - Topic

Ignasi Terraza is a Spanish jazz pianist.
Blind from the age of 10, he studied piano as well as Computer Engineering and was the first blind person in Spain to obtain this degree. After three years dividing his time between his profession and music, in 1991, he decided to dedicate himself entirely to jazz, accompanying vocalists such as Kalil Wilson, Charmin Michelle, Randy Greer, Michelle McCain, Lavelle or Stacey Kent, and jazz musicians Frank Wess, Jesse Davis, Gene "The Mighty Flea" Conners, Teddy Edwards, Ted Curson, Spike Robinson, Ralph Lalama or Brad Leali.
As a leader, his trios and quartets have included bassists Pierre Boussaguet, Mario Rossy, Javier Colina, Jules Bekoko and Horacio Fumero, among others, and Jean Pierre Derouard, Gregory Hutchinson, Walter Perkins, Bobby Durham, Peer Wyboris, Jo Krause, Esteve Pi or Julian Vaughn on drums.
One particular association, divided into two stints, was with vibraphonist and drummer Oriol Bordas, playing in trio/quartet formations and with the Barcelona Jazz Orchestra.
Since 2003 he has been teaching jazz piano at the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya - Catalonia College of Music.
