Jan Domènech, at the age of 12, joined the Young Cats (the youngest of the Sant Andreu Jazz Band). That was 2010. The following year he was already part of the Band, and he played various songs at the concert at the Palau de la Música in 2011, of which there are many sequences in the director Ramon Tort's film, “A film about kids and music) and where Jan appears on several occasions. As of that year, little by little, his presence in the SAJB became more important, sharing the position of pianist, mainly with Marc Martín. Jan's evolution has been continuous since those early years. His passion for music and his desire to learn has led him to become a pianist who has assimilated the tradition (through listening to pianists such as Red Garland, Teddy Wilson, Duke Ellington and Oscar Peterson) and who continues his search for more contemporary sounds (through Brad Mehldau, Fred Hersh and those who have been their teachers directly: Ignasi Terraza and Marco Mezquida).Jan has been part of my project between 2010 and 2019.

We can hear his evolution as a soloist in the recordings of songs like Jordu (2015), Three and One and Triste (2016), Count Bubba. (2017) Shinny stokings (2018), Land End (2019) and many others, especially in recent years. That continuous evolution and that total dedication to jazz are the reasons why I propose to make a presentation CD (the 14th of the collection). In it we have the presence of renowned international soloists such as Scott Hamilton, Dick Oatts, Joe Magnarelli, with the voices of Andrea Motis, Joana Casanova and Alba Armengou. In several of the songs we have David Xirgu on drums.
His colleagues in the SAJB also have an important presence in the new job, as has been customary in recent CDs. About to turn 15 years of the project, I am proud and extremely happy to be able to have this new "Joan Chamorro presents" and see how Jan Domènech, little by little, is taking his place in the Catalan jazz scene. Congratulations, Jan, and may jazz music continue to be as important to you as it has been until now, filling your life with hope and pleasure, and may you continue to share it with all of us. https://santandreujazzband.bandcamp.com/album/joan-chamorro-presenta-jan-dom-nech
