The young Canarian trumpeter & composer, Ernesto Montenegro, presents his ensemble to the audience as leader, with a repertoire consisting of compositions by Montenegro himself; in which he seeks to make his own vision of Afro-American music known, from total respect and devotion towards the same, and strongly rooted in the language inherited from legends like Art Blakey, Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw, Elvin Jones & Wayne Shorter. And not forgetting the new trends and the tutoring that in his current stay in Amsterdam he has received from great exponents of this music, such as Terell Stafford, Dick Oatts, Bob Mintzer, Ben Wendel, Reinier Baas, Gregory Hutchinson & Kendrick Scott.
For this assignment he decided to get together four musicians of three different nationalities with whom he has shared experiences & stage venues in Holland, besides having recorded some of the compositions that we will hear in the show.
Line-Up:
Ernesto Montenegro: trumpet
Francisco Nascimiento: alto sax
