about

We´re already used to the fact that each new group led by André Fernandes causes a healthy dose of interest and curiosity. In fact, this prodigious guitarist and composer´s path, that has significantly changed the portuguese jazz scene over the last decade, has been set by a sequence of projects that, apart from their inherent value, would never let one guess what could come next.
It´s no different with “Wonder Wheel”. I´d even say that this new surprise is even greater than all the previous ones. Maybe because it´s closer to the pop aesthetic, André Fernandes new music is perhaps less complex, but by no means less profound, than that on his previous adventures, at the same time that, because of that closeness to a more song oriented format, sounds richer and more detailed from a textural point of view.
One of the main factors to add that richness comes, without a doubt, from Inês Sousa´s contribution, a very original singer, with meticulously crafted voice and an impressive musical ear, that adapts perfectly to the typically wide and open music from Fernandes. Even more interesting is the fact that Inês Sousa refuses to embrace today´s so in vogue trend in female jazz vocalists. When so many singers word so hard to have their voices sound like an instrument, Inês sounds very effortlessly like that exactly, as one more musician in a band of great musicians.
In fact, André Fernandes, Mário Laginha, Demian Cabaud and Alexandre Frazão are a kind of an elite class of the portuguese jazz scene , that in the most inspired way, fully embrace the guitarist´s new project.

Dizzy Atmosphere
by Dave Douglas

supported by 5 fans who also own “Wonder Wheel”

This is a wonderful album! Dave Douglas is one of my heroes. He's more than a great musician. He has a vision for the music and a feeling for putting together a group which is unique. So, beside Joey Baron (another heavyweight and one of my absolute favourite drummers) he invited some young cats to this session. They play just great and make sure that this music sounds totally fresh, whilst at the same time being deeply rooted in the jazz tradition. Florian Arbenz

Fabliaux
by Dave Douglas & Monash Art Ensemble

supported by 4 fans who also own “Wonder Wheel”

This is a great record! It reminds me a little of Gunther Schuller's 'Third Wave' experiments. I admire Dave for his consistent involvement in moving the music forward ...as complex, involving and articulate as anything he has done. John Cratchley

This quintet has acquired legendary status as a working unit...all the musicians are exemplary at their craft and DD is one of my 'Big5'...he is an exquisite composer of both depth and breadth of vision...you can instantly recognise Dave's DNA in a tune...what's more, you feel there is also so much more to come!;his powers of expression are so special. These compositions are from the heart and I can only suggest that you take them to yours... John Cratchley

Dada People
by Dave Douglas & Frank Woeste

supported by 4 fans who also own “Wonder Wheel”

This is a beautiful, lyrical session. The interplay between Dave Douglas's trumpet and Frank Woeste's keyboards creates some surprisingly lush textures and the rhythm section of Matt Brewer and Clarence Penn lift it to another level. A real find. chorna
