Celebrating its 20th anniversary, LUME – Lisbon Underground Music Ensemble brings a singular and irreverent big-band sound to the Jazz em Agosto festival. Founded and led by Marco Barroso, the ensemble blends jazz and classical musicians, injecting rock, popular music, avant-garde jazz, contemporary composition, and experimentalism into the typical big-band vocabulary. The result, as noted by London Jazz News, is a "singularly functioning sound organism" with minimalist conducting.
Set in the open-air amphitheatre of the Gulbenkian Garden, the concert promises an evening of boundary-pushing music. Each composition is conceived as a place of infinite possibilities, pointing toward a different horizon. The 14-piece lineup includes flute, clarinets, saxophones, trumpets, trombones, electric bass, and drums, all under Barroso's direction at the piano.
This performance is a must for adventurous music lovers exploring Lisbon's cultural scene. The Gulbenkian Foundation's lush garden setting provides a perfect backdrop for an evening of inventive, genre-defying jazz.
