1.- About MADDISON PACK
Jazz quartet that was born in 2012, initially formed by clarinetist Javier Calvo Peralta and bassist Ernesto Calvo Soria. In 2016 pianist Noel Redolar joined. A year later, with the drummer Israel Tubilleja, the current formation of the quartet is defined, premiering at the 34th Edition of the "Zaragoza Jazz Festival" (2017), where Maddison Pack shares the stage with Kenny Barron, whoever was Dizzy Gillespie's pianist, and Italian pianist Dado Moroni.
In July 2019 they recorded the seven self-composed songs that are included in the album "626 CLUB". In this work the writer and journalist Antón Castro collaborates with the story titled “A visit to the Jazz Club”, the master photographer Javier Cruces (winner of three Goya awards), the painters Cesar Sánchez and George Ward, the cartoonist Javi Hernández, and the announcer and dubbing actor Ángel Redolar Cortés.
On February 10, 2020, the quartet presents "626 CLUB" with a concert in the assembly hall of the emblematic modernist building of Caja Rural de Aragón. More than 300 people (capacity sold out) witnessed, after the words of the presenter and editor of Aragón TV Victoria Martínez, a multidisciplinary staging: music with a reading of the story by Ángel Redolar Cortés "A visit to the Jazz club" by Antón Castro, projection of images by J. Cruces, C. Sánchez, G.Ward and J. Hernández.
In December 2021, Maddison Pack presents a new album titled “MADDISON PACK” at the Zaragoza Auditorium. 626 CLUB. LIVE AT AUDITORIO DE ZARAGOZA”, a limited edition of 110 copies of a double vinyl + book. This new work includes the live recording of the concert offered on January 30, 2021 in the Luis Galve Room of the Zaragoza Auditorium.

In April 2024, Maddison Pack presents with a live concert at the Eduardo del Pueyo Auditorium of the CONSERVATORIO SUPERIOR DE MÚSICA DE ARAGÓN - CSMA -, his third album, second studio album, titled “APRIL 1959”. The new album, like the previous one, is published in a Special Limited Edition of 110 units. Contains a vinyl record with 7 original songs with texts, comics and photographs.
