Carlos Bica
Double bass player and composer, Carlos Bica, is one of the most prolific and innovative sound artists of Portugal. Known for his lyrical tone on the double bass, Bica has the rare ability to write melodies that essentially are songs without words, haunting and unforgettable.

MORE THAN THIS is the title of the brand new album by Carlos Bica & Azul with Frank Möbus and Jim Black. It has been twenty years since the release of Carlos Bica's Azul, the Portuguese double bass player's debut recording with German guitarist Frank Möbus and the American drummer Jim Black

by Mark Corroto
Ahh, the “Best Of" lists, when I get the privilege to tell you “what is what." For me, the releases below are not the best discs of 2024 but the ones I kept coming back to most often this past year. I certainly missed a few, as I will discover reading other AAJ contributor's best-of lists. ...
Carlos Bica: 11:11
by Mark Corroto
For Carlos Bica, ugly was never an option for his quartet release 11:11. Much like American guitarist Bill Frisell does in his music, the Portuguese bassist and composer draws on his experience with his country's folk heritage. For Bica, that tradition is contained in the song genre fado. The music is often about fate or longing, ...

Louis Sclavis, David León, Roby Glod & Joy Guidry
by Maurice Hogue
Reed players have taken over the house this week. The eminent clarinetist Louis Sclavis stars in an excellent quartet using music, text and spoken word to create a moody sonic landscape out of short stories, poems and aphorisms by French and African authors. Other European saxophonists heard are Luxembourg's Roby Glod in a familiar setting with ...
