Orquestra Jazz de Matosinhos closes the 2nd. edition of the Festival of Young Musicians, and presents the project OJM & 3 Tenors. This time, the guests soloists are three young musicians outstanding within the national jazz context: Desidério Lázaro, José Pedro Coelho and Fernando Sánchez Buzón.

Jazz has arrived at the Young Musicians Award, an initiative promoted by Antena 2 and RTP.

Free admission concert.

The return of Orquestra Jazz de Matosinhos to sala suggia reunites three of the most relevant saxophone players of contemporary jazz. The “3 Tenors” are soloists in a programme that reflects the group’s bet on a repertoire of their own with pieces by Carlos Azevedo and Pedro Guedes, but also by Ohad Talmor and John Hollenbeck. Chris Cheek and Mark Turner are inevitable references of the present North-American jazz and have already shared the stage with OJM in other occasions. Joining them, the British Andy Shepard, with a history of collaborations with three great leaders of big bands: Carla Bley, George Russel and Gil Evans.

Orquestra Jazz de Matosinhos marks the renovation of the historical Constantino Nery Theatre with the presentation of the original compositions written by Pedro Guedes and Carlos Azevedo, and the commissions to two internationally renowned North-American composers: Ohad Talmor, a regular contributor to the orchestra, and John Hollenbeck, who for the first time composes specifically for OJM.

This concert has the contribution of the guest soloists, the saxophone players Chris Cheek, Joshua Redman and Ohad Talmor, first-line musicians of the North-American jazz.
