A Journey Through Jazz Evolution

Pioneers of Fusion: Jazz Meets Folklore
Gradus Jazz is recognized for pioneering the fusion of jazz with Aragonese folklore. This innovative approach culminated in the CD Folklore & Jazz, solidifying their artistic identity as a blend of tradition and modernity. Their unique sound has garnered attention, leading to invitations from the University of Florida in both 2024 and 2025 to present their jazz approach.
International Recognition and Cultural Ambassadorship
The group’s international presence includes a performance at the Expo Universal de Milán in 2015, where they delivered twelve concerts, and at the Expo de Zaragoza in 2008. Gradus Jazz has also served as a Cultural Ambassador for the Government of Aragón, performing at promotional events in cities across Spain, including Barcelona, A Coruña, and Madrid.
Beyond the Trio: Collaborative Spirit
Members of Gradus Jazz actively collaborate with other musicians, having recorded with ensembles like Durme, Grooveland Trío, and the Banda Sinfónica de Aragón. Their original compositions have also been covered by recognized jazz musicians, demonstrating their influence within the jazz community.
