Corda Bamba is the first collaborative project joining John Dikeman (tenor sax), Luís Vicente (trumpet), Roger Turner (percussion), Alexander Hawkins (piano) and Hugo Antunes (double bass), the result of an artistic residence in Coimbra organized through and by Jazz ao Centro Clube. Containing incredible material, it’ll enter indubitably in the discussion for best album of the year. JACC Records’ 36th record presents a return to roots for these five musicians, exploring the concept of the “new thing”, the genre that preceded what we call today “free jazz”.
