Raquel Álvaro mezzo-soprano / Vicente Magalhães piano / Jack Garside double bass / Alasdair Pennington drums
Vicente Magalhães writes music that pays tribute to his Portuguese nationality. Whether he does this by exploring certain indigenous rhythms and traditional chord progressions or by re-arranging and re-imagining old folk tunes the output is a singular one and very under explored. The end result is an intriguing and engaging set of modern jazz pieces that are deeply rooted in Portuguese history and culture. The resulting sound of the band is fresh and full of original ideas and the voice of Raquel Álvaro is really quite special.
