Sousa + Pinheiro + Ferrandini

This band brings together three of the greatest references in contemporary Portuguese improvised music – the New Lisbon Vanguard, as the magazine Wire called them. Rodrigo Pinheiro (piano) and Gabriel Ferrandini (drums) are members of one of the most inventive local formations in this area, RED Trio, while the duo of Ferrandini and Pedro Sousa (saxophone) gained in profile following collaborations with Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth) and Johan Berthling.

The music that the three build, while tracing unpredictable paths, always reveals itself as highly stimulating and with all the intensity of a revelation.
