Tonight we have a dazzling debut at the Club from one of the finest Brazilian guitarists around, Luiz Morais. His style combines a wide variety of Brazilian music, including the iconic "Forró" rhythms of his native North-East region, with the swing of American jazz guitar masters such as Wes Montgomery and Joe Pass. After his recent move to London, Luiz is forging a formidable reputation as an innovator, arranger and composer with impressive potential. His achievements include being a member of the acclaimed Brazilian ‘Orquestra de Sopros de Pro Arte’ as well as performing on stage with a number of internationally renowned artists including world famous Brazilian singer/guitarist Gilberto Gil. Tonight's show will focus mainly on material from his new album "Nascente" ("Rising" in English) which as Luiz explains "unites a wide range of flavours and influences, combining the most powerful rhythmic roots of Brazilian popular music with the freshness and harmonic sophistication of jazz". The band that Luiz has assembled tonight for the UK launch of his new album are a terrific group of musicians who specialise in this style, including Giuliano Pereira & Marcelo Andrade on flutes and saxes, the rhythm section of young upcoming pianist Sam Watts, and the highly experienced Matheus Nova on bass and Enzo Zirilli on drums. Plus Luiz has promised some Surprise Guests (including at least one singer!).For anyone interested in the exceptional performance of authentic Brazilian jazz - look no further!

“Elegant and genuinely creative, guitarist Luiz Morais's "Nascente" is wonderful in every sense!" O Globo
