Paulo Gomes

​

The solo piano, as a form of presentation, occupies a privileged place in jazz, with a history prior to the origins of this genre. Its legitimate approaches are as varied as jazz itself.

​

This lonely journey on a stage with a piano, I define it as a moment of total freedom, unrestricted expression, complete exposure and  without refuges, the mixture of languages and techniques that I've always experienced. As a summary... a reflection and a retrospective of my musical and personal universe.

The music I heard the most, the one I played and the one I wrote is part of this universe. And it is from this collection that the music that I bring to concert comes out of.
