Tonight, Diáspora took us on a journey through the music of Brazil. From the samba-reggae of Caetano, to the funky MPB of Djavan, to the rich Bossa Nova of Jobim and many more...
We experienced the insatiably, sensual Brazilian Zee Filho, the radiance and finesse of Alexandra Soto, the tour-de-force of Cléa Thomasset, a Saudade underpinned by the incredible Balança (side-to-side swing) of Diáspora's rhythm section - Will, Will and Harry, and with Rory on sax, flute and clarinet... JUST ANNOUNCED! We are delighted to be joined by very special guest vocalist and flautist Cléa Thomasset for tomorrow's A night in Brazil at The Jazz Cafe.
Elle se forme à la musique brésilienne à Paris et à Rio de Janeiro, auprès d'Eduardo Lopes, Felipe Abreu (chant populaire brésilien), de l'Escola Portátil de Música, de Lucas Ciavatta (O Passo).
En 2010 elle participe en tant que flûtiste et vocaliste au projet Nimbus Orchestra, sous la direction du flûtiste de jazz Magic Malik. A Paris, elle participe à la création du Collectif Braséine puis cofonde avec le guitariste brésilien José Ferreira le projet poético-musical TRAVESSIAS, consacré aux grands compositeurs du Brésil d'aujourd'hui, tels que Guinga, Egberto Gismonti, Maurício Carrilho... Fin 2014, naît le projet Chora Cléa! navigant entre choro, samba et forró. En 2015, elle s'établit à Londres et rejoint le Clube do Choro UK en tant que coordinatrice, aux côtés de Zé Kouyaté (Gaio de Lima). Début 2016 elle une nouvelle collaboration avec le guitariste brésilien Vitor Celestino (établi à Stockholm), se produisant en Suède (Clube do Choro Sweden), à Paris (Festival de Choro), Londres (Hyde Park)... Développant actuellement un projet de création personnel, entre poésie, jazz et musiques du monde, Cléa collabore également sur scène ou en studio avec de nombreux artistes tels qu'Aurélie et Verioca, Virginie Henry, l'Orchestre de Flûtes Français, Joyce Cândido, Choro with Tea, Karine Huet, Mario Bakuna...

I’ve wanted to complete this for ages and I couldn’t find the right words to go about it.
Two years ago to this day, January 11th, some of us lost a very special friend, musician and colleague. This album is dedicated to the memory of Julian Mark Harris. Although I wish he were still here, I'm always thinking of him, but particularly on this day, inspired by him and his music, which live on in myself and I’m sure everyone whoever had the pleasure of hearing it. Julian's previously unreleased guitar playing can be heard on tracks 4-6, and 8-9 of this album, alongside the percussion of Luigi De Gouveia. It also features Benjamin Gasiglia (guitar) and Riccardo Castellani (percussion). I know Julian would have loved to have heard the finished result because it includes many of the tunes we used to play together. I dedicate this album to Julian Mark Harris with whom many of us shared wonderful memories and good times. Em Balança: an album dedicated to the late Julian Harris (August 7, 1963 - January 11, 2016). Rory Duffy - Alto & Tenor Saxophones, Flute, Vocals Julian Harris - Guitar, Luigi De Gouveia - Cajon, Percussion (tracks 4-6, 8-9) Benjamin Gasiglia - Guitar, Riccardo Castellani - Cajon, Percussion (tracks 1-3, 7 & 10) Recorded at Map Studio Café, 46 Grafton Rd, Kentish Town, London, NW5 3DU Edited at Casanova Music, Chorlton, Manchester Produced, mixed and mastered by Gavin Beckwith GB Sound, Basement, Battle House, 1 East Barnet Road, London, EN4 8RR Executive producers Rory Duffy, Claire Maillot & Jo Mantini Red & Black Music
