Helio Alves Trio
About This Event
Pianist Hélio Alves brings his trio to The Django, working from Brazilian-rooted rhythms into open-ended improvisation. Alves’s playing favors forward motion and close ensemble interplay rather than individual display; the trio emphasizes rhythmic lift and conversational timing as it shifts from groove-forward passages into freer stretches.
