THOMAS FIGUEROA GROOVIN’ JAZZ PROJECT

Thomas Figueroa is a guitarrist, composer, producer and teacher specialized in modern music and improvisation. He began his musical studies in 1988, focusing from the very beginning on contemporary languages such as Jazz, the Blues, Fusion & Funk. In 1994 he moved to the USA where he immersed himself fully into the music of improvisation, broadening his training and developing a musical voice of his own influenced by African-American traditions and the creative freedom of Jazz. Since 1999 he has been a teacher of Electric Guitar, Harmony and Combo at the ‘Escuela Insular de Música’ Iisland School of Music)(Cabildo – Island Council of FuertevenTura).

In 2006 he released his first solo album, titled Ocasiones, a work that includes original compositions and a stylistic approach that combines harmonic sophistication with the groove characteristic of its musical language.

In 2015 he completed his Master’s in ‘Orchestration & composition of music for film & television’ at the renowned Berklee College of Music, expanding his creative spectrum to the audiovisual world and and consolidating his profile as a versatile and complete musician.

With a constantly evolving repertoire, Thomas Figueroa Groovin’ Jazz Project invites the audience to a journey full of emotion, rhythm & creative freedom. Each presentation is a unique experience where the musicians talk to each other in real time, exploring musical landscapes that cross stylistic boundaries and connect to the very purest root of groove.
