José Lencastre/Hernâni Faustino/Andrew Lisle Riffs (Phonogram Unit)
José Lencastre tenor saxophone
Hernâni Faustino double bass
Andrew Lisle drums
“Riffs” is the debut album of this new trio featuring saxophonist José Lencastre, double bassist Hernâni Faustino and drummer Andrew Lisle. This is the first time the trio has played together. This album is an exciting and fascinating exploration of boundaries between free jazz and free improvisation, the tight interplay that drives the music is astonishing. Lisle’s rhythms constantly shaping the dynamics, Faustino’s engagement with abstract forms, and Lencastre’s lyrical and melodic contributions promise a compelling blend of sounds and styles.
The music of this trio provides a rich backdrop and musical experience for the listeners.
