Luís Vicente Trio – Expanding Horizons with Leo Genovese & Tony Malaby

Come Down Here

Saxophonist Tony Malaby, who played at Bimhuis with, among others, William Parker and Tim Berne, and pianist Leo Genovese, who was active in the bands of Esperanza Spalding. The Luís Vicente Trio earned international respect with their albums Chanting In The Name Of and Come Down Here. On these, the players show their adventurous spirit, emotional depth and ability to discover new sounds. The open melodies of Vicente and the inventive playing of bassist Gonçalo Almeida and drummer Pedro Melo Alves lead to surprising outcomes time and again. On Come Down Here, they explore diverse influences, from Don Cherry’s Old and New Dreams Quartet to the music accompanying the Afro-Brazilian martial art capoeira.
