Pianist Marco Mezquida conceived Tornado (self-published, 2023) with, and for, two old and dear friends. Masa Kamaguci (bass) and Ramon Prats (drums) with whom he shares a long history of music, connection and experiences on the road.

The result is music created from three very expressive and strong musical personalities, that provide Marco with many registers and differences in space in which he can express himself in visceral moments. Tornado is a beautiful story that is all at once thrilling and deeply moving, it never fails to captivate and amaze audiences as you can see from a recent review from UK publication Jazzwise:

"Tornado by name tornado by nature, pianist Marco Mezquida’s Tornado Trio may have made their UK debut in 2019 at PizzaExpress Jazz Club in London but earlier this year they blew into Cheltenham Jazz Festival's Parabola early Saturday evening as complete unknowns and ended their absolutely spellbinding set with the audience raised to roof-high rapture. His outrageously advanced technique and unstoppable creativity combined Jarrett/ Evans melodic twists, pinpoint quietude and Cecil Taylor’s shock and awe with a rhythm section – of bassist Masa Kamaguchi and drummer Ramon Prats – rich in empathy and groove intensity.” Jazzwise Magazine, June 2025
