20H: Rodrigo Amado solo

Lisbon’s Rodrigo Amado, on tenor and alto saxophone, has made a name for himself as one of the key players in the current European Jazz scene. Having played with many Portuguese and internationally renowned musicians, Amado is also the leader of various formations in the past and present (Lisbon Improvisation Players, Wire Quartet, Motion Trio).

Amado has been developing the concept behind his Refraction Solo and will have a new solo album out on Austrian renowned freejazz label Trost.

"At the shifting boundary between free jazz and improvised music, Rodrigo Amado’s position is clear: he plays jazz. He is so clearly a jazz musician that he doesn’t require any pre-determined elements of rhythm, harmony, chorus lengths or melody to play jazz. There’s a rhythmic impetus, a bite in his sound, part grain, part beat, and it drives his lines forward, a sound and an impulse that are part him and part history, a fundamental impress on the world that tenor saxophonists like Coleman Hawkins, Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis, Sonny Rollins, and Archie Shepp have been making for generations." Stuart Broomer"

21H: Almeida van Dongen / Tabula Sonorum

Bassist Gonçalo Almeida and pianist Bart van Dongen have created their own sound world in interplay and on their instruments. The sounds are created by not only applying traditional playing methods and materials. Details matter and repetitive motifs too in this duo. Both musicians are storytellers on their instruments.



Bart van Dongen (NL) - prepared piano
Gonçalo Almeida (PT) - double bass
