BIO - English
 

Smack Dab, a Jazz quintet born on 2015, is presenting the music with more enthusiasm than ever due to the return of the pianist from their first albums, Jöel González. Like other band members have done before, Jöel has been living in NYC for the last 9 years, closing the longest run in the band. His homecoming will be celebrated with the recording of the band's next album.

With six albums in their catalog ("Oriol Vallès i Joan Casares presenten SMACK DAB", "Smack 7 Dab", "Live At Jamboree" i "555", "Supertralla", "Pulse") and world class collaborations such as Jesse Davis, David Kikoski, Vincent Herring, Perico Sambeat or Toni Belenguer, the original members Oriol Vallès, Lluc Casares, Jöel González, Pau Sala and Joan Casares have never given up their personal sound and repertoire, represented on more than 50 titles registered.
