Nuno Costa: Detox
by Angelo Leonardi
C'è un velo di malinconico lirismo, di nostalgico abbandono, nella musica di Nuno Costa che ricorda il carattere profondo dell'animo portoghese. 35 anni, operante a Lisbona nella nuova e stimolante scena musicale cittadina, il chitarrista è tornato sulle rive del Tejo da un decennio, dopo essersi diplomato con lode al Berklee College of Music ...
Lama + Joachim Badenhorst: The Elephant's Journey
by Mark Corroto
The trio Lama, a regular working ensemble with Portuguese musicians, trumpeter Susana Santos Silva and double bassist Gonçalo Almeida, plus Canadian drummer Greg Smith should seriously consider becoming a quartet, with the permanent inclusion of Belgian clarinetist Joachim Badenhorst. The trio's music just feels more complete with their release The Elephant's Journey.Lama's first disc ...

Hugo Carvalhais: Grand Valis
by Jakob Baekgaard
What happens when modern composition meets jazz in a science fiction universe? The answer is Grand Valis by Portuguese bassist and composer Hugo Carvalhais.

Carvalhais plays ...

Nuno Costa: Detox
by Chris Mosey
Many things inspired Portuguese guitarist Nuno Costa making this, his third album: the Bible, Matthew 20:16, “So the last will be first, and the first will be last"; the life of a wasp; his pet dog, Mr Kido; and-- last but by no means least--his newly-born daughter Leonor.

Nuno Costa: Detox
by Roger Farbey
Guitarist and Berklee College of Music alumnus Nuno Costa has produced his third album, which was recorded in January 2014, in Lisbon, Portugal, where he and his band are based. It makes for some intriguing listening too. Electronic guitar whine cedes to ethereal harmonics, constituting the opening bars of “Hum...?," and from here on ...
Mano A Mano: Mano a Mano
by Chris Mosey
Mano a mano is Spanish for hand to hand as in unarmed combat. Nowadays it is used in much the same way as the English expression head to head, and doesn't imply anything too serious. This is just as well because the two guitarists going hand to hand here are brothers. Bruno and ...
Joel Silva: Geyser
by Budd Kopman
Portuguese drummer Joel Silva has organized a very fine band to bring his compositions to life. The resulting album, Geyser, is a deeply felt paean to nature and man's place within it. From the opening track, the music (with one exception) creates mental images of wide-open spaces and the emotions of awe and humility. ...
