“Of Fragility and Impermanence” reviewed in Público

Written By André Carvalho

“At the helm of an atypical quintet, double bassist André Carvalho creates music that celebrates fragility: against the turmoil, restraint.”

A big thank you to Nuno Catarino for these beautiful words in his review of Of Fragility and Impermanence, published yesterday in Ípsilon, the cultural supplement of Público.

I am particularly happy to see the album reviewed by a newspaper I have read and followed for many years, and to have its music reach a publication that has been an important part of Portugal’s cultural landscape.

André Carvalho

Portuguese jazz bassist and composer André Carvalho is an active NYC freelancer whose works AllAboutJAzz described as “both in bounds and out of this world.” Nate Chinen of The New York Times dubbed Carvalho a bassist “you should get to know.” He’s played with Jazz stars Chris Cheek, Will Vinson, and Tommy Crane. And André’s performance credits range from the Colors Jazz Festival (Paris), the Cairo Jazz Festival, and Jazz Festival Ljubliana, to venues such as Blue Note (New York), Konzerthaus Berlin, and Casa da Música (Porto).
