João Freitas Jazz Jazz standards

We need a PA SYSTEM.

What kind of dress code.

We just have the amplifiers.

We don't provide Music between sets.

I had the opportunity to play in Boston’s annual jazz festival, an experience that I will never forget.
That festival featured Artists like Mike Stern, Richard Bona, Kenny Garrett, and Lionel Loueke, among many others.

Love to play in all circumstances, as long as we are having fun and people are having a nice time.

I played in the USA from 2004 to 2008 while I was studying in Berklee College of Music with a scholarship
Now I play mainly in Portugal, where I live since then, all over the country with duo, trio, singers, trumpet players, saxophone, quartet, drums, love playing with all Sorts of bands.

Influenced by Miles Davis, the great.
Favourite artist, Jimi Hendrix, he played Guitar and Music like no one else.
Greatest song, Mr tambourine Man by Bob Dylan, what a poet.

We arrive 2 hours earlier to set up and we play 2 45-minute sets.
We can play longer if the occasion asks for, but around 45 to 60 minutes would be ideal.

Of course, no problem at all.

We can learn up to 3 or 5 songs, the rest we will follow our repertoire.
If the gig is with a singer, we can learn more.

Depending on the customer choice, we can provide the energy and ambience required, always in the jazz bossa nova spectrum.

As a performer, I am very honest with the Music and the audience..
I try to adapt to the place I see and feel the ambience.
It can be very intense, but it can also be very simple and warm.
Love to listen to my partners and develop musicianship
