These five jazz musicians from Porto (Portugal) have met while studing jazz in the university (ESMAE) and since then they have been working and playing together in this project.
The communication and spontaneity has grown over time and the band has start to have an identity.
The compositions (all by António Pedro Neves ) have a strong sense of rhythm and a kind of a “lyrical” approach, harmonically speaking.
This year the band found it was time to record an album and presented the project to TOAP wich is a symbol of the contemporary jazz scene coming from Portugal. The album came out this October and the band is proud of the result.
