Secret Studio Sessions Vol.1 | 2019 | Paulo Gomes Trio
Without the usual boundaries of original repertoire lines or American jazz or music from any other origin, what I most value and look for in this trio is the collective sound and the pleasure of making the music I like the most. Without pretensions and in my favorite formation... the trio!
