Vitor Gonçalves: Vitor Gonçalves Quartet

by Angelo Leonardi
December 25, 2017

Al suo debutto discografico, dopo tre anni di permanenza a New York (l'album è di quest'anno ma l'incisione è del giugno 2015), il giovane musicista brasiliano si rivela pianista e, soprattutto autore, talentoso e singolarmente eclettico.
