Rodrigo Amado Unity

A true dream team of the Portuguese jazz scene, this unity presided by the tireless Rodrigo Amado arrives at OUT.FEST in a particularly crucial moment of definition of their identity. Still recent, this outstanding quartet composed of Rodrigo Amado on saxophone, Hernâni Faustino on double bass, Gabriel Ferrandini on drums and Rodrigo Pinheiro on piano gathers a collective sum of knowledge and inventiveness practically peerless in this country’s scenario. Widely recognized figures within jazz, improvisation and exploratory music circles, banded by a complicity forged for years in other more or less ad-hoc contexts and configurations, united here by Ferrandini’s role as member of both the RED Trio with Faustino and Pinheiro and Amado’s Motion Trio. High expectations for this combo, made from musicians that have given so much to OUT.FEST and from whom so much more is yet to come.
