released February 3, 2010

The RED trio is quite a unique case in the Portuguese jazz and improvised music scene. The free music played by Rodrigo Pinheiro (piano, prepared piano), Hernâni Faustino (double bass), and Gabriel Ferrandini (drums, percussion) have no attachment to anything else presented in the little European country known for its unusually dynamic jazz, improvised and experimental scenes. And even considering a wider scenario, few piano trios existing in the world can be comparable to what we find in this debut CD. Firstly, because this isn’t really a piano trio.

The pianist is not the central figure here, even if we imediatly recognise Pinheiro’s resourceful and virtuosistic capacities, and the rhythm section, well, isn’t in fact a rhythm section, the bass and the drums always intervening side-by-side with the harmonic instrument. This is indeed collective music, with no hierarchical roles for the intervenients, and conventions like melody and pulse are generally subverted, or replaced by textural instant constructions. In the middle of all the abstractions created, the connections with jazz are not lost – truth is they surface with a welcomed evidence. Thelonious Monk and Cecil Taylor are recognisable, if distant, influences. The same we can say about the references to contemporary classical music, and namely to Messiaen and Ligeti. This is very intense music, sometimes even violent, but with space for detail. Quite a surprise, indeed.

All music by Rodrigo Pinheiro, Hernani Faustino and Gabriel Ferrandini

Recorded 10th and 11th June 2008 at Moagem, Fundão by Albrecht Loops

Hernani Faustino Portugal

After establishing his name during the Eighties as an electric bassist in alternative rock bands, Hernani Faustino turned to avant-jazz and free improvised music and chose the double bass as his self-taught instrument. Two decades later of multiple interactions with Portuguese and international musicians, he’s now considered one of the most intense and solid bassists in the Portuguese scene. ... more
