About
This exciting three-piece band plays music with a mixed DNA, on one end exploring and developing on the work of its European contemporaries and on the other honouring the American tradition, with an equal mix of modern takes on standards and original compositions. It is led by Portuguese-born, London-based pianist, composer, and arranger Vicente Magalhães and features some of London’s best young jazz talent.
Vicente moved to the UK to study music in 2013 and for eight years was highly active in the northern jazz scene, regularly playing at clubs and on the festival circuits before moving to London in 2021 to study jazz at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. He has worked with some of the biggest names in UK jazz, including Norma Winstone, Dave Green, Henry Lowther, and Julian Argüelles, as well as outside of jazz with bands such as Embrace and the Kaiser Chiefs.
Expect passionate original music, creative arrangements, incredible playing, and the spirit of both Bud Powell and Kenny Wheeler celebrated in each note
