Ra Kalam Bob Moses / Vasco Trilla / Pedro Melo Alves

Bob Moses is a legendary drummer who moulded the jazz sound of the 70s and 80s in the bands of Pat Metheny, Paul Bley, Steve Swallow, Gary Burton and Dave Liebman. At the age of 75, he brings together the experience of New York’s jazz boom of recent decades, as well as a pure curiosity that keeps him on the lookout for new explorations and directions in music. This is how Ra Kalam Bob Moses, the spiritual name under which he now performs, meets Pedro Melo Alves and Vasco Trilla, two new unstoppable references in contemporary exploratory percussion with a strong record activity on European circuits. The three drummers, who move between the freer currents of jazz and improvised music, come together in a percussion trio, combining their strong personalities and unique resources between compositions and improvisations in a show of profound and unpredictable dialogues, with a strong spiritual character. This time in Portugal, the percussion trio is presenting its debut album “Sonic Alchemy Suprema”, on Carimbo Porta-Jazz, with the participation of saxophonists Julius Gabriel, João Pedro Brandão and José Soares.
