Project Escape

Discover Project Escape: a musical fusion

Saxophonist Guilherme Sousa, marimbist and vibraphonist Tomás Luiz, and drummer Bruce Zhou together form Project Escape. This adventurous trio brings together jazz, classical, and contemporary music. You will hear a surprising mix of cool jazz and modern sounds. The programme includes compositions by Paul Simon, Anthony Fiumara, Andy Scott, and Bill Evans. The music alternates between trio performances and a few solo contributions.

Unique arrangements and musical freedom

The musicians arrange their repertoire themselves and give the compositions their own character. Different musical styles and influences come together. Think of jazz, classical, recognisable melodies, and contemporary soundscapes. The name Project Escape refers to their musical starting point: escaping from fixed forms and traditional stylistic boundaries. They seek the freedom to approach music in their own way, without binding themselves to one genre or playing style.
