Common Ground by José Lencastre / Carlos Zingaro / Clara Lai / Gonçalo Almeida / João Sousa
Common ground explores new sonic possibilities in a quintet format.
There is dialogue and interaction in a searching mode, as the musicians are looking to find unity in language and sound within their different approaches and backgrounds.
Intense and soft music at the same time. Contemporary, abstract, but also free and groovy.
Emotions delivered with honesty and passion by José Lencastre on alto sax, Carlos Zíngaro on violin, Clara Lai on piano, Gonçalo Almeida on double bass, and Joāo Sousa on drums.
