David Sancho Trio

Mere observation is transformative. The consciousness of the instant from the inner calm allows to glimpse the true reality of things. Abandon yourself to what it really is to leave behind siren songs and fleeting flashes of thought. David Sancho becomes present in every breath, in every pulse and transits placidly from the inner beat to seven original compositions in a perfect balance, with the harmony and creativity needed to approach and unveil the mystery of what it is.

Graduated in piano and pedagogy at Conservatorio Superior de Música de Madrid and graduated in Piano Jazz. Awarded the Nuffic Scholarship at the Higher Conservatory of Rotterdam. David Sancho has extensive experience in classical music and a prolific jazz career, participating in numerous projects such as M O N O D R A M A with Mauricio Gómez on saxophone, and Alberto Brenes on drums and SANCHEMA with guitarist Chema Saiz. A career that has led him to be the winner of different international competitions and consolidate over the years as a reference musician, a leading artists collaborator and a regular figure in the main stages and festivals around the world. Producer and composer for hip-hop band The Breitners, he has participated in the neo soul project “Una necesidad” by Miryam Latrece as an arranger and composer in addition to having extensive experience in audiovisuals through different shows, television, and theater.

Since first solo “Piano solo” in 2019 and “From home” in 2020 releases, pianist from Madrid has shown an absolutely original and versatile vision, sustaining his work on a melting pot of influences ranging from classical music and jazz to pop, electro or hip-hop. Away from any superficial virtuosity, he shows his interest in allowing the background to prevail over the form, providing his own work with great depth and flexibility making always the message reach the inner side of the listener.

“Meditations” reaches higher aesthetic quota within author´s restless spirit and eclectic career. A work full of different influences and intentions and for whose achievement, David Sancho has been joined by two renowned musicians from the scene, Jesús Caparrós on electric bass and Borja Barrueta on drums. Going beyond contemporary jazz standards, the band sound maintains a perfect balance between the traditional concept of jazz band and the use of synthesizers and other unusual elements such as electronic drums or pedal steel, transiting passages close to jazz rock in “Mikado” or progressive rock in “Moi’s Torpedo”. The heartbeat from “Meditations” or the multiple corridors that unfold in the atmospheric “Shackleton Base” show author´s creativity skills and his complicity with the rest of the band. Close to Ambient jazz “PG=PC” and “Ed song” reveal a new assortment of possibilities while the beautiful “Psalmo” puts an end to the record with David Sancho virtuoso manufacturing on piano returning to classical music origins.

David Sancho is present in every note, in every pulse of creativity. Devoid of any intention other than reaching the center of the listener, he presents his third record “Meditations“, an exercise of brilliant sound experimentation that consolidates his author as an exceptional referent within the scene.
