Trio Mágico

Trio Mágico is led by award winning pianist Paul Harrison, who is joined by bassist Mario Caribe and drummer / percussionist Stuart Brown. These musicians came together through their passion for Brazilian music, and who have a special rapport from years of performing together in Scotland and internationally in various folk, world and jazz settings. Their performances focus on the music of Egberto Gismonti, which is like a microcosm of his native Brazil - diverse, joyful, and unique. One of the great legends of the country’s music, his tunes are freshed and presented in a new light - infectious rhythms of the world translated into vessels for inspiring jazz improvisation. At times romantic and film-score like, others introspective yet optimistic. There are carnival-like choro rhythms that will, literally, move you, and inspiring melodies that you may find yourself singing for a long time afterwards!

This concert is generously subsidised by the Ferguson Bequest, allowing affordable ticket prices.
