Jazz
Helio Alves Quintet
About This Event
Pianist Hélio Alves performs with his quintet at The Django. Associated with Brazilian jazz and the freer edges of the tradition, Alves blends rhythmic lift with open-ended improvisation and draws on Brazilian forms without treating them as fixed arrangements. In New York he appears regularly at Bar Bayeux, often in sets with drummer Kiku Freitas, Marcio Philomena and Gili Lopes; his work favors forward motion and close ensemble conversation.
