TONALIDADES Gateway (2018) RioJAZZ4 Calibrated Rec (2014) Vermelho e Azul Calibrated Rec (2012) |
A collaboration between the gifted and highly in-demand upright bass player Morten Ankarfeldt from Denmark, and Brazil's biggest up-and-coming guitar talent Caio Marcio Santos. In 2012 they created the album 'Rio em Vermelho e Azul' (Rio in Red and Blue) (Calibrated Records) - a unique combination of Scandinavian melodic jazz and Brazilian rhythms.
The result was two geographically distanced musical personalities melting into a unique, fresh and inspiring expression. In order to create RioJAZZ4, Morten Ankarfeldt and Caio Marcio Santos invited the famous Danish saxophonist and flute player Christina von Bülow and the talented and expressive Brazilian drummer, Cassius Theperson. Their album from 2014 is named after the quartet, and with 'RioJAZZ4' (Calibrated Records) the ensemble built on the sounds that were created in the 1960’s when jazz met Brazilian instrumental music with A.C. Jobim and Stan Getz as frontrunners. The listener will clearly hear Stan Getz’s influence in Christina von Bülow’s playing as she was one of his few students. The Danish melodic and well-balanced jazz blends effortless with the Brazilian Choro and Samba. See more Our new album "Tonalidades" is out September 1st 2018
