Rodrigo Amado: Motion Trio
by Glenn Astarita
Portuguese saxophonist Rodrigo Amado is one of the busier and more productive European jazz improvisers.

Rodrigo Amado: Surface
by Mark Corroto
Like the preceding disc from Rodrigo Amado entitled The Space Between (Clean Feed), this outing works the same tightrope. The Portuguese saxophonist adds cellist Tomas Ulrich to this trio of Carlos Zingaro (violin) and Ken Filiano (bass) for an uncommon chamber jazz experience.
