Born in Barcelona in 1994, the young Gregori Hollis is an outstanding performer – a top-notch soloist, among his other talents – and a composer and arranger too. A follower of Mireia Farrés, Greg Gisbert, Llibert Fortuny and Matthew Simon, who presented him with his cum laude honours when he graduated from ESMUC, Hollis made his debut a year ago with the album Kontimba. Captivated by Latin jazz, a style he studied in New York and Barcelona, he founded a septet with his contemporaries, a group with which he has recorded Landing (2021, Halley Records), an album of his own compositions featuring Latin rhythms and percussion. Timba is assured in the Plaça Reial basement club.
