Albert Marquès is a Brooklyn-based composer, pianist and activist from Barcelona. His music blends jazz with influences from flamenco, creating a sound that is rhythmically driven, emotionally direct and deeply personal. At The Jazz Gallery, the quartet will perform Albert’s original music centered on the immigrant experience.
Albert Marquès (b. 1986, Catalonia, Spain) is a composer, producer, educator, jazz pianist, and published author. After three years in Paris, he has been based in New York City since 2011.
