Alec Orea - Concerto for Piano and Universe (2025)

Alec, known for his work with Airto Moreira/Flora Purim Sextet and Raul de Souza, aims to transcend typical jazz. He creates large-scale forms with compositional and improvisational elements, producing classical-like performances. His Concerto for Piano and Universe features diverse textures, rhythmical energy, and solo sections by quintet members, both accompanied and unaccompanied. This innovative blend of classical music and jazz sets it apart.
