Mani Padme Trio
The Flight
The South American outfit has produced only three albums in the space of 12 years, and each of its works has been well received by both audiences and critics. The 2003 debut Um Dia De Chuva represented a welcome change in the jazz scene by showing how it was still possible to produce creative and inspired music that transcended clichs and stereotypes. Three years later Depois represented a confirmation of the trio's vitality in its original approach to jazz. With Vôo, the lineup of Brazilian drummer Ricardo Mosca and Cuban pianist Yaniel Matos, complemented on this occasion by Sidiel Vieira on double bass, signs its third work that highlights how the trio's music has further evolved and enriched in content, while remaining firmly in the groove traced by previous works.
