Project Escape
Saxophone, marimba, vibraphone and drums in a blend of jazz, classical and contemporary music.Saxophonist Guilherme Sousa, marimbist and vibraphonist Tomás Luiz, and drummer Bruce Zhou come together as Project Escape.
The trio explores a surprising blend of cool jazz, classical and contemporary music. The programme features compositions by Paul Simon, Anthony Fiumara, Andy Scott and Bill Evans, performed in a variety of trio settings as well as solo contributions.
The musicians create their own arrangements, giving each composition a distinctive character. Their music brings together diverse styles and influences, moving from jazz to classical music, and from familiar melodies to contemporary sound worlds.
The name Project Escape reflects their artistic vision: breaking free from fixed forms, traditional genre boundaries and musical expectations. They embrace the freedom to approach music in their own way, without being tied to a single genre or style of performance.
