Paul Sant Martí piano, vocals · Oriol Fontanals doublebass · Arnau Juliá drums
From his early work with Stay Blues and his first album Tracks, through Paul’s Mood, the single with French drummer Romain Gratalon, and finally reaching A French Session, Paul San Martín is part of the group of highly trained musicians who understand the significance of Black music in general, and blues in particular. Over the years, with an uncommon mastery that has made him a key reference as a pianist and singer across the Spanish and European circuits, San Martín has dedicated himself to exploring, studying, and cultivating this musical tradition.
He has collaborated with notable artists, including Nico Wayne Toussaint, Otis Grand, Gerry Hundt, Lluís Coloma, James Armstrong, Ñaco Goñi, Slam Allen, Chris Ruest, and the legendary blues figure Billy Boy Arnold. For this concert, Paul San Martín offers us a musical journey through the history of piano blues, boogie-woogie, and jazz from a perspective that spans both sides of the Atlantic. This journey blends the vast experience he has gained over many years with his deep love for the timeless music of New Orleans, performed with the mastery and maturity of an artist who embraces every influence within the genre, making him a major reference for many.
