About Me
Biography - GIULIANO PEREIRA
Like many contemporary improvising musicians, saxophonist Giuliano Pereira is the
archetypal global citizen. He left his native Brazil in the late 90s, resided in New York
and Madrid before finally settling in London in 2009. He has also performed in Canada,
Portugal, Angola, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bulgaria, Bahrain and Sweden.
In Brazil, he trained at the Carlos de Campos de Tatui Conservatoire where his tutors
included Claudio Leal [harmony] and David Richards [Improvisation]. In addition to this
formal musical education, Pereira began to perform and record studio sessions,
exploring and developing his own style. In 1997 he moved to in New York where he
pursued intensive studies with the saxophone virtuoso Dave Liebman.
After returning to Brazil where he continued to play with and arrange for numerous jazz
artists, Pereira headed to Europe, eager for a change of scene. He settled in Madrid in
2007 and began collaborating with acclaimed artists such as The Spanish National
Jazz Orchestra and Jorge Pardo, known first and foremost for his work with flamenco
legend Paco De Lucia and jazz great Chick Corea.
Hailing from a musical family in Brazil, Pereira has devoted himself to creating his own
unique compositional signature and a style of performance that reflects a fusion of
global influences, from western jazz to traditional Brazilian folk music.
His debut album, INNER SPACE, was recorded at Eastcote Studios (London) with Ivo
Neame (piano), Gili Lopes (bass), Emiliano Caroselli (drums) and Guille Hill (guitar).
