Pianist and composer presents his new album 'País Distante', recorded with Julian Argüelles, Rodrigo Correia and José Salgueiro, synthesizing his vast musical universe.

Full details

Synopsis The new album by João Paulo Esteves da Silva, País Distante, is a doubly important milestone on the Portuguese music scene: on the one hand, it marks 30 years of recordings by the composer-pianist, whose debut under his own name, Serra sem Fim, dates from 1995; on the other, it inaugurates the new Artway Jazz catalogue, a label of Artway Editions that promises to become a reference for national jazz. Recorded at La Buissonne studio in the south of France, País Distante features a newly formed quartet, including Julian Argüelles on tenor and soprano saxophones, Rodrigo Correia on double bass and José Salgueiro on drums. The repertoire includes both pieces by Esteves da Silva and a series of collective improvisations of great compositional focus. Crossing sounds such as Portuguese jazz, European jazz, avant-garde jazz, classical music or rock, this album can be seen as a kind of extraordinarily concise synthesis of the vast universe of the composer-pianist, pointed out by his peers as one of the most original figures in European music of recent decades.

Show original (Portuguese)

Sinopse O novo álbum de João Paulo Esteves da Silva, País Distante , é um marco duplamente importante no panorama musical português: por um lado, assinala 30 anos de edições discográficas do compositor-pianista, cuja estreia em nome próprio, Serra sem Fim , data de 1995; por outro, inaugura o novo catálogo Artway Jazz, chancela da Artway Editions que promete tornar-se uma referência para o jazz nacional. Gravado no estúdio La Buissonne, no sul de França, País Distante apresenta um recém-formado quarteto, que conta com Julian Argüelles nos saxofones tenor e soprano, Rodrigo Correia no contrabaixo e José Salgueiro na bateria. O repertório inclui tanto temas de Esteves da Silva, como uma série de improvisações colectivas de grande foco composicional. Atravessando sonoridades como o jazz português, o jazz europeu, o jazz de vanguarda, a música clássica ou o rock, este álbum pode ser encarado como uma espécie de síntese, extraordinariamente concisa, do vasto universo do compositor-pianista, apontado pelos seus pares como umas das figuras mais originais da música europeia das últimas décadas.
