Memória de Amiba

Written By André Carvalho
 

Described by Phil Barnes in AllAboutJazz as an album with “gentle beauty that brings you back for repeat listens” with “high quality, subtly melodic, atmospheric compositions that usher you into their own discrete world”, Carvalho’s second album was supported by the GDA Foundation.

“Memória de Amiba”, entitled after a curious relationship between Amoeba and André’s own memory, features Jorge Reis (soprano and alto saxophone), Zé Maria (tenor saxophone), Bruno Santos (guitar), Jeffery Davis (vibraphone), Óscar Graça (piano), André Carvalho (double bass), João Rijo (drums), André Santos (guitar on "Aunt Beru) and Ricardo Toscano (alto saxophone on "Contemplações do Panteão").
