The Daniel García Trio, one of the most exciting ensembles on the European jazz scene, will perform at the Audi Forum Ingolstadt on October 9 at 8 p.m. As part of the Audi Forum jazz series, the audience can look forward to a first-class concert experience when Spanish jazz pianist Daniel García and his two Cuban bandmates Reinier Elizarde “El Negrón” and Michael Olivera take to the stage. Tickets are on sale now.
Spanish soundscapes and Cuban rhythms await at the Audi museum mobile: the Daniel García Trio blends Spanish folklore and classical influences with the rhythmic and improvisational power of jazz. Their sound is enriched with Caribbean tones and rhythmic intensity. The trio is known for catchy melodies, harmonic sophistication, and a virtuosity that shines especially in live performances.
Global success
Daniel García and his bandmates have released several recordings, most recently the 2024 album Wonderland. The jazz pianist from Salamanca in northwestern Spain first trained in classical piano at the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Castilla y León before studying jazz at the world-renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston under Joanne Brackeen and Danilo Pérez. Grammy-winning jazz pianist Pérez became his mentor and had a lasting influence on him. García graduated from Berklee with the award for best jazz performance. He went on to perform with internationally acclaimed musicians such as Arturo Sandoval, Greg Osby, and Perico Sambeat.
At the Audi Forum Ingolstadt, Daniel García will perform alongside Reinier Elizarde “El Negrón” (double bass) and Michael Olivera (drums). The two Cuban musicians have been established members of the trio for many years. Elizarde previously collaborated with the legendary Cuban band Irakere, among others, and is a sought-after bassist in both Europe and North America. Olivera was a member of Cuban jazz musician Román Filiú’s quintet at the young age of 16. He later played in the Afro-Cuban rock band Sintesis, among others, and is now internationally successful as a drummer, composer, and producer.
