Daniel Ferruz Quartet is the personal project of Zaragoza-born pianist and composer Daniel Ferruz, joined by Joan Mas on saxophone, David Mengual on double bass, and Adrià Claramunt on drums. It is a contemporary jazz quartet with a solid track record and a distinctive sound built around original compositions. Active since 2018, the group stands out for its strong collective identity and a musical proposal that blends lyricism with improvisational freedom, drawing influences from modern jazz and European classical music.
With three albums released (Noctis, Miradas, and Un presente), the quartet has established itself as one of the most personal and distinctive proposals of its generation, performing at renowned venues and festivals such as the Marató de Jazz at L’Auditori de Barcelona, the Jamboree Jazz Club, and the Huesca and Zaragoza Jazz Festivals. Their career was recognized in 2024, when the pianist received the Jove Talent Award from the Associació de Músics de Jazz i Música Moderna de Catalunya (AMJM).
Sound and aesthetics
The quartet’s sound is built around original compositions as the central axis of its musical discourse and a strong collective identity shaped by years of continuous collaboration. Their music naturally bridges contemporary jazz and the legacy of European classical music, integrating diverse influences into a personal and recognizable language.
The group’s proposal seeks a constant balance between lyricism and improvisational freedom, emphasizing interaction and sonic narrative. The result is intimate and reflective music that invites attentive listening, placing emotion and expressiveness at the heart of the musical experience.
