This has been a busy year for guitarist, composer and producer Hugo Ferreira.

In the space of just a few months, the Coimbra-born musician has released two discs with Carimbo Porta Jazz, a fundamental association for improvised music in the city of Porto, where Ferreira currently lives.

In both of these highly collaborative works – ‘Stop’ with the Godua quartet and ‘Esfanes’ with the quintet of the same name – Hugo Ferreira excels in both writing and playing.

The trio Fiona and duos with musicians such as Joana Raquel, José Vale or Duarte Ventura are other examples of his intense activity. All in all, there are plenty of reasons to invite Hugo Ferreira to share more facets of his work at the Jazz ao Centro Festival.
