MOIMÊME/ SERGUE / WATTS Trio + ERNESTO RODRIGUES

This trio is another ensemble that came out of the Portuguese group Hipnotica. Somehow, for the first concert, the music was publicised as lounge jazz. What the public heard was something quite different! Watts was particularly inspired throughout the whole night and Sergue finally stood out on this final track. The music rolled pretty well throughout a relatively short 3 theme set. But the peak was unquestionably reached when violinist Ernesto Rodrigues joined in for one last collective improvisation. His sinuous glissando at the very end of the track was a beautiful and final master’s touch.
