Info for Farol: Música de Carlos Azevedo
In June 2020, Orquestra Jazz de Matosinhos opened its doors to composer and bassist Zé Eduardo, one of the most remarkable figures in the history of national jazz. The album is filled with original music from different scenes that take us through landscapes of the 70s and 80s - a swing, a bossa, a bolero -, and we’re given a taste of music written during a first quarantine too. This was also the time to record a commission from OJM itself with the sea in the background and even an arrangement of an old song - the only that wasn’t composed by Zé Eduardo - that seemed important to remember.
“We can’t talk about the history of jazz orchestras in Portugal without talking about the important role of Zé Eduardo”. (Pedro Guedes)
