The ensemble is completed with C\u00e9sar Mart\u00ednez on drums and Toni Pujol on double-bass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The group has a very personal style marked from the beginning with musical references coming from classical, bossa-nova, traditional Catalan and Mediterranean music. Also, the trio is influenced by the great jazz piano trios and pianists like Bill Evans, Michael Petrucciani, Enrico Pieranunzi or Brad Mehldau. The band\u2019s concerts have a distinct Europen sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xavier Dotras TRIO has published 5 different recordings.
