Suport recording project Liebman, Laginha, Ineke, Cavalli e Pinheiro.
The idea behind this project begins with a musical and human relationship established and developed throughout the years in the context of the International Association of Schools of Jazz network, where David Liebman is the Artistic Director. That's why we decided to create this quintet with musicians of four different countries who approach improvisation in jazz in a very personal way.
This Cd will be the recording of a conversation among David Liebman, Mário Laginha, Eric Ineke, Massimo Cavalli and Ricardo Pinheiro as result of the interaction among such different musicians.
The recording session take place in November 2014 in Lisbon.
To be able to afford the recording, mixing, mastering and travel expenses we need your precious help.
We count on your support!

Mário Laginha working as a musician for more than twenty years, Mário Laginha is usually connoted to the jazz world. But, if it’s true that in the beginning he followed a predominantly jazzy path – he was one of the founders of the Sexteto de Jazz de Lisboa (1984), he created the Mário Laginha Decateto (1987) and he leads his own trio, - the musical universe he has constructed with singer Maria João is a tribute to all the music he loves – beginning with jazz, but including Brazilian, Indian and African music, pop, rock and, of course, the classical basis that was present in his academic studies and that would influence his first solo project, inspired by Bach’s music (Songs and Fugues, 2006).
