About Me


Pianist and composer Igor Prochazka was born in Zlin (Czech Republic) in a family of entertainment music professionals. After about ten years of basic classical piano education in Duesseldorf, Germany, he worked as bar pianist, presenting pop and jazz classics in exclusive restaurants and hotels.

Now he is based in Madrid, Spain, being member of Jambol Jazz Quartet . Currently he is mainly working with the Igor Prochazka Trio (IPT), a band that has been founded in late 2006 with Christian Perez (double-bass) and Federico Marini (drums), some of the most in-demand musicians in the capital's Jazz scene.

In June 2007 IPT won the first prize for jazz group in the nation-wide contest "Audiciones" ( Fundación Canal Isabel II - Madrid, Spain).
