Frederico Heliodoro Quartet
Frederico Heliodoro Quartet at The Vortex Jazz Club, London
About the show
Celebrating ten years of international touring, the Brazilian bassist Frederico Heliodoro presents a new concert featuring music from his albums The Weight of the News, Máximos Eventos and Gávea Days Compact, alongside recent compositions written in Rio de Janeiro.
The new material reflects a growing connection with the city, its atmosphere, its neighborhoods and its particular sense of mystery, heard in pieces such as Fantasia Carioca and Ciclo do Leme.
Bringing together different moments of his artistic journey, the program moves between older and newer works while maintaining a strong personal voice shaped by years of performing and collaborating with artists such as Kurt Rosenwinkel, Milton Nascimento, Louis Cole and Zé Ibarra. Rather than looking back, this concert offers a glimpse of where that journey has arrived today.

Tom Ford
Emerging artist Tom Ford never had any doubts that he would pursue a career in music. However, until now, he had mostly been working behind the scenes with other musicians such as Col3trane and Poppy Ajudha. It was his friend and collaborator Reuben James, the distinguished singer, songwriter and jazz pianist, that encouraged Tom to step into his own spotlight.
