Press Release:

This record document the encounter between improvisers with the interest of sharing experiences and the common love for the tradition of free music.

The name of the group (and of the record) makes explicit reference to the city where it all happened and where all of the portuguese musicians develop their work. Lisbon is, in fact, an increasingly significant city for creative music and Hernâni, Luís and Gabriel are amongst the most active players in the scene.

When Elliott came to visit the city they took advantage and played in several contexts. At least two recordings were made, and this one found it’s way to the audience.

Hope you enjoy!
