Tetterapadequ (Portugal / Italy)

DANIELE MARTINI (tenor saxophone)

The bizarre name of this group composed of Portuguese and Italian musicians, is an anagram of De Patter Quartet, the jazz club in The Hague where the four played on numerous occasions when they first met as students at the local conservatory. Immensely liberating music, oscillating between the explosive and the contemplative, between melodic and abstract, it is always guided by an unwavering commitment to improvisation.
