PizzaExpress Jazz Club (Soho)

Antonio Serrano is considered one of the greatest harmonica players of all time and is a Grammy winning artist. His amazing versatility is reflected in the long list of collaborations with major stars and world class artists. He moves with ease in different musical fields as distant from each other as jazz, flamenco, pop, tango and classical music. He has made a hugely important contribution to Spanish music by introducing the harmonica into flamenco, and further consolidated this innovation as a key member of Paco de Lucia's group from 2004 to 2014. These London concerts are a celebration of another musical genius and virtuoso of the Harmonica in the world of Jazz, "Toots Thielemans", on the 100th anniversary of his birth.

"Antonio Serrano is one of the great geniuses of Spanish Music"

Luis Gago, El Pais February 6, 2021

In July 2021, he premiered “Clazzical” in Madrid, based on the great melodies of classical music and the daring harmonies and syncopated rhythms of Jazz.

Serrano teaches musical improvisation courses at various European conservatories, and Flamenco courses at the Berklee College of Music. He also teaches at the University of Khartoum (Sudan).
