A New York based South Korean jazz star Pureum Jin meets with Spanish jazz maestro Ignasi Terraza in summer of 2018 at a prestige jazz club in Barcelona ‘Jamboree’ during GREC Music Festival 2018. Ignasi is a Spanish jazz pianist born in 1962, who has been active in the international jazz scene since early 1980s. He currently leads his own jazz trio and has released his latest album ‘High Up on the Terraza’ in June 2019 through SWIT records with Pierre Boussaguet on bass and Victor Jones on drums. He’s been teaching jazz piano at the Higher School of Music of Catalonia since ‘03 and is often accompanied by talented young Spanish multi-instrumentalists such as Andrea Motis and Rita Payés.

Pureum Jin was invited by Ignasi Terraza to perform as part of a program to introduce a well-established jazz artist from Asia to the jazz fans in Barcelona. They both felt it would be a great opportunity for them to record this wonderful occasion and share it with their fans and for those who welcomed the gathering of these amazing musicians, as all their sets were sold out well in advance. The album contains a great display of jazz musicians with love and passion for straight-ahead jazz; full of swing and energetic groove throughout the album that will keep you engaged until the very last note of the album has been played.
