With this new album, César Cardoso intended to create a new approach in his compositions – more complex music without losing the melodic strength, an indispensable characteristic in Jazz. A special guest in this cd: Miguel Zenón on alto saxophone.
“Interchange” is the latest release of César Cardoso, saxophonist, composer and arranger. Already with two recordings as a leader, “Half Step” (in 2010) and “Bottom Shelf” (in 2015), this new album features the same ensemble as the second CD – Bruno Santos on guitar, Demian Cabaud on double bass and André Sousa Machado on drums. But the album’s name itself reveals the growth: “Interchange” also features a groundbreaking alto saxophonist, who needs no introduction, multiple Grammy Nominee and founding member of the group SFJazz Collective, the acclaimed Miguel Zenón.
With this new album, César Cardoso intended to create a new approach in his compositions – more complex music without losing the melodic strength, an indispensable characteristic in Jazz. The essence of this musical style is also present in the band’s constant dynamics and strong chemistry, which can be heard on the 9 originals in “Interchange”, all specifically written for this quartet, as well as for the special guest Miguel Zenón.
“Modern music is, at times, associated with complicated music and difficult to hear, but for me it should be “fresh”, melodic, energetic and easily understood by the audience.”
