Description
The Vasco Pimentel Trio comprises Portuguese pianist-composer Vasco Pimentel, double bassist Rodrigo Correia and drummer Diogo Alexandre. Together they perform the compositions of Vasco Pimentel on Walkabout, in which Pimentel's original music is augmented by the improvisations of Correia and Alexandre.
For Pimentel, Walkabout is a journey towards musical identity, via rhythmic musical play on the one hand, and a sensitivity to deeper meaning on the other. He is particularly fascinated by the playful concept of rhythmic illusion, setting up certain expectations, illusions and surprises in listeners' minds, encouraging us towards varying, often mesmerising perceptions of rhythm and time. The combination of original composition and improvisation was influenced by artists such as Keith Jarrett and Joao Paulo Esteves da Silva, and the three members of the Trio share strong artistic and personal ties: a precise but rich sense of rhythm, and a deep sense of creativity and sensitivity. Walkabout represents a rite of passage from a younger stage of life towards a more mature one, encapsulating Pimentel's musical journey of self-discovery.
