Stimulated by the desire to explore written music in greater depth and take some weight off improvisation, trumpeter Luís Vicente called on Gonçalo Almeida and Pedro Melo Alves to join him, bringing together three of the most exciting musicians in contemporary Portuguese jazz.
After recent experiments with Hamid Drake, John Dikeman and William Parker, Vicente returns to his elastic writing on the album Come Down Here, designed for a trio comfortable with the abstract and free paths that shape his conception of music.
In a constant game of approaching and retreating from rhythm, structure and melody, this encounter explores extremes and repeatedly escapes convention, both in writing and improvisation.
