Hélio Alves Trio: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Hélio Alves Trio

Hélio Alves Trio is a New York–based jazz group led by pianist Hélio Alves, whose work draws on Brazilian jazz and the freer edges of the tradition. In NYC they have appeared at rooms such as The Django, working in close, conversational interplay rather than spotlight turns. The trio’s sets tend to move from groove-forward passages into open improvisation, with an ear for rhythmic lift and ensemble timing. Alves’ playing favors momentum and structure over display.
