Clube Da Esquina W/ Gui Tavares & AlÊ Ferreira

A London concert built around Clube da Esquina, the Brazilian album created by Milton Nascimento and Lô Borges, performed with Gui Tavares and AlÊ Ferreira at The Jazz Cafe.

Clube da Esquina is a Brazilian album created by Milton Nascimento and Lô Borges, and it is treated as a landmark of Brazilian music because it helped artists move beyond bossa nova. Its sound combines Afro-jazz and Latin American folk with the influences of The Beatles and John Coltrane.

The record has reached well beyond Brazil, influencing musicians from jazz to pop, and collectors such as Gilles Peterson have championed it as a cult favourite. This evening marks the album with a programme that celebrates its sunlit imagery, passion and energy. The performers, Gui Tavares and AlÊ Ferreira, are not the album's original creators; the event is a tribute to the record rather than an appearance by its makers.

The Jazz Cafe hosts concerts and shows in London, and this event is aimed at listeners interested in Brazilian music and the jazz and folk currents that shaped this album.
