The Reunion Project featuring Chico Pinheiro
Featuring: Chico Pinheiro, Felipe Salles, Tiago Costa, Bruno Migotto, Edu Ribeiro
This
group of Brazilian jazz virtuosos has put together set of Brazilian
jazz compositions inspired by the theme “REUNION”. Although Chico
Pinheiro, Tiago Costa, Edu Ribeiro and Felipe Salles share a history of
early development as musicians in Brazil, having studied and played
together over twenty years ago, before their professional careers, they
have never collaborated on a recording project before. During the course

arrangers, and performers.
