Duot – 20 anys

The instrumental project Duot celebrates two decades on Barcelona's stages with a proposal that moves along the margins of contemporary jazz and free improvisation.

Duot is the formation made up of drummer Ramon Prats and saxophonist Albert Cirera — although in this project the authorship and instrumental complicity rest with the core of the duo — with twenty years of uninterrupted activity since its founding. Its proposal sits at the forefront of the Iberian scene, combining the tradition of instrumental jazz with sonic experimentation, acoustic texture and compositional risk.

In concert, Duot's repertoire stands out for constant communication between the two instruments, where free improvisation intertwines with structured pieces. Without an amplified electric line-up, the live sound depends on acoustic skill, detailed percussion and the expressiveness of the saxophone, offering a sober and intimate experience for the audience at Sala 3 Tete Montoliu.

This date is aimed at fans of avant-garde jazz and listeners accustomed to contemporary instrumental music who are looking for a chamber format on the Barcelona circuit. The atmosphere of the venue favours attentive listening, free of distractions, ideal for appreciating the nuances of one of the most singular proposals in current Catalan improvisation during this stop in Barcelona.
