Miguel Angelo
Miguel Ângelo began his musical journey at age 10 with Tuna Musical de Fiães, where he studied music theory, guitar, and later double bass. In the 1980s, he ventured into rock music, playing bass guitar with the band Curtes Baldei-me. Years later, he resumed his musical education at the Porto Jazz School, studying electric bass under Professor Alberto Jorge. Although rock initially captured his artistic interest, jazz ultimately became his true passion. Under the guidance of double bassist Alberto Jorge and pianist Paulo Gomes, he deepened his studies in double bass and combo performance at the Porto Jazz School in the late 1990s. He later worked with bassist Pedro Barreiros and received support from double bassist António Augusto Aguiar. Miguel also pursued formal music training up to the 5th grade with professors Alexander Worf and Joel Silva at the Academia de Paços de Brandão and later at Santa Maria da Feira. After earning a degree in Informatics and Applied Mathematics from Universidade Portucalense, he returned to higher education in 2004 to study double bass.

Miguel Angelo: I Think I’m Going To Eat Dessert
by Mark Corroto
We can all agree that music is perceived and enjoyed through the sensory faculty known as hearing.

Phil Barnes' Best Releases of 2016
by Phil Barnes
It was tempting to view the events of 2016 in apocalyptic terms--even leaving politics to one side, the succession of beloved entertainers falling to the Grim Reaper was a salutary reminder of the limits of our own mortality. Some saw this as a sign of something ending, a watershed and not in a good way, but ...
Miguel Angelo Quartet: Miguel Angelo Quarteto: A Vida de X
by Phil Barnes
Neither life nor jazz is simple or linear. On any given event there are multiple possible interpretations and perspectives--some will stand up to scrutiny others will not. At its most extreme there is the entitled trickster who shouts of their integrity even as they rob you in their consummate selfishness, but sometimes it is just that ...
