After the acclaimed first recording of “Vento” by the trio José Lencastre, Hernâni Faustino and Vasco Furtado, now comes a new chapter with “Forces in Motion". Performed absent of an audience in an empty church and broadcasted live for a radio program by Osso Colectivo, the music carries a strong sense for searching and risk. Faustino this time takes up the electric bass, Lencastre’s alto saxophone is breathtaking and melodic, and Furtado’s drums are always a surprise with organic and fundamental details. The sound reveals a new dimension. Intriguing music, focused, quiet, strong and with beautiful colours.
