At Guimarães Jazz, César Cardoso will present the project “Dice of Tenors”, a band formed by a group of prestigious musicians including pianist Óscar Graça and drummer Marcos Cavaleiro, and devoted to the reinterpretation of a selection of jazz standards composed or performed by some of history´s great tenor saxophonists. Besides paying tribute to the extraordinary music created by those who were among the most influential composers of the twentieth century, this group aims, according to his mentor, to use classical jazz compositions as a vehicle to explore new techniques, adding harmonic and rhythmic complexities capable of reflecting the mutations that occurred within music throughout time.
