Evas Quartet

Eva Català & Eva Serrano

Evas 4tet is an original jazz project born from the powerful rhythmic foundation of bassist Eva Serrano and drummer/percussionist Eva Català. A strong affinity and their collaboration as a rhythm section in multiple national and international projects over the past five years have led them to refine a form of expression that remains true to their sound and generation, as revealed in this project.

Together with Víctor Jiménez (alto sax) and the pianist and synthesist Pablo Rizo, the project not only reflects their personal evolution: it becomes a space for exploring new sonic territories, intertwining the diverse musical backgrounds of the quartet’s members. The repertoire is approached from an emotional perspective, building a language that seeks to create a shared space between performers and audience, celebrating joy, complicity, and freedom both on stage and in the seats.
