HUMANIZATION 4TET - CCB Lisboa, 5 ABRIL, 19h
Schedule
Sat, 05 Apr, 2025 at 07:00 pm
UTC+01:00Location
Centro Cultural de Belém | Lisbon, LI
Humanization 4tet no CCB-Centro Cultural de Belém (pequeno auditório) a 5 Abril, 19h00 em mais uma tour Europeia desta banda Texas/Portugal ou Dallas/Lisboa. Excelente oportunidade para assistir a este grupo ao vivo, o seu habitat natural. Os últimos três discos foram gravados assim, em concerto ao vivo (Madison; New Orleans; Saarbrucken)! É um grupo muito especial com um vasto património de concertos e tours não só um pouco por todo o Portugal, mas também (em 3 tours pelos) Estados Unidos e (a terceira na) Europa. Temos disco novo "Saarbrucken" gravado no festival homólogo em 2021, mas no entanto vamos agora apresentar um novíssimo repertório, novo show ;)
Vai valer a pena com certeza. Fica o desafio para este encontro de final de tarde no CCB a 5 Abril às 19h00, onde as emoções vão bater em cima com certeza.

"O poder da banda reside no facto de nunca vacilar na sua intensidade.
Com o passar dos anos, ouve-se a mesma vontade de lutar. Vivida no calor
do momento, a banda encontra o seu pleno potencial na urgência de uma
música radical e generosa." - Citizen Jazz (França)
"Fire Music no seu estado mais poderoso, tenso, seco, eufórico,
inspirado, a testemunhar a ligação com a história de uma música que
nunca pára de fazer perguntas sobre o futuro, ao mesmo tempo que
encontra as suas respostas no passado." - Blow Up Magazine (Itália)
"Saarbrücken é mais um empolgante registro do Humanization 4tet, que mostra a banda em plena maturidade expressiva" - FreeForm FreeJazz (Brasil)

Mais info:
Formed by the Portuguese Luís Lopes and Rodrigo Amado with the Texan brothers Aaron and Stefan Gonzalez. Rooted in jazz, the band practices in a dynamic way a music that can run from the simplest melody to noise, or from the most organic improvisation towards more targeted composition, never losing sight of its primary objective of conceptual construction and implementation of an identity. This is reflected since their first “Humanization 4tet” debut album, edited by the Portuguese label Clean Feed, named best album of 2008 by Portuguese magazine Jazz.pt. Plus, the add of more two records: “Live in Madison” and “Electricity”, both edited by the French label Ayler Records, and more recently "Believe Believe" (resulting from their latest tour in the U.S. and recorded in New Orleans), all internationally acclaimed.

In the U.S. they have made three tours on the road, playing in places such as: Sandaga Market, Phoenix Project, RCB Mixtape Sessions (Dallas); Firehouse Gallery, Lola´s (Fort Worth); The Salvage Vanguard Theatre, Trailer Space Records, Me Mer Mo Series (Austin); Avant Garden, Project Row Houses, Spruce Goose (Houston), Mustard Zone (Denton); Desert Flower (Big Spring); Minicine (Shreveport); Spinster Records (Tulsa); Blue Nile, Chickie Wahwah, Zeitgeist, Snug Harbor, Side Bar, Allways Lounge (New Orleans); Bobo Gallery, (Asheville); Eyedrum Gallery (Atlanta); Bossa (Washington); Fiume, Leroy’s Lounge, Osvaldo Romberg Studio, Wherehouse (Philadelphia), Union Pool Brooklyn, Downtown Music Gallery, The Stone (New York), Hideout (Chicago), Audio For the Arts (Madison).

“In a happy conjunction between Lisbon and Dallas (Texas), ever since 2008 this Luso-American quartet has been making an intense, dry and radical music which owes as much to free jazz as it does to punk rock. Soon catapulted to and applauded in the international circuit, LLHQ excel by their degree of collective improvisation built around themes/riffs in healthy proportions, giving birth to a very physical and warm music.” Rui Neves, in Jazz em Agosto Festival Lisbon Portugal
“The band plays with the intensity and energy that you might expect from their funk and free jazz roots, but they also play with an extraordinary level of control. While the band moves seamlessly from assertive grooves to free, someone is always grounding the performance […] It’s that level of continuous focus that distinguishes the band from some likely parallels such as Last Exit and The Thing.” Stuart Broomer, in Point of Departure Canadá“
capté en Louisiane en 2018, est la nouvelle manifestation du Luís Lopes Humanization Quartet, qui marie l’énergie du rock coriace aux héritages du jazz et free jazz. Sonorité colossale, sûreté des énoncés, Rodrigo Amado (ts) est une locomotive, et sa complicité avec l’intrépide Lopes (elg) garantit le coup de tabac. Aaron et Stefan Gonzalez (b, dm), non contents d’exceller à leur poste, apportent des compos astucieuses. Petite durée, impact décuplé” David Cristol / Jazz Magazine [JAZZ CHOC!] France
“The music is a constant tug-of-war between punk metal and cool jazz. The electricity of improvised rock is countered by post-bop swing that reads as confusion, but is far from it” Mark Corroto / All About Jazz New York
“Believe, Believe is not restricted anywhere, but at the same time maintains a close focus […] Believe, Believe is a powerful statement: infused with the sweaty vibe of Live In Madison, but traced to a tight 35 minutes that groove, seduce, and slap you with a few punches that knock you back. Structure and freedom in a masterful balance, performed by a Portuguese-American alliance that tests the first element to the maximum and performs the second with a keen focus. In short, this is the shit you want to see live” Guy Peters – enola magazine Bélgium
“Taking jazz and boosting it with the concentrated energy of punk and metal, they come out with a challenging and exciting piece of work […] This group is very tight and focused no matter how far out they go […] This was an excellent record with the band perfectly melding modern and free jazz with just the right amount of thematic material. They play brilliantly as a group, and just as well as soloists, making for a consistently interesting and exciting álbum” Tim Niland – jazz & Blues U.S.
“A four gentlemen meeting who obviously know each other well and at the same time are confident of each other after so many years, they challenge both each other and us, so it lasts […] The music is both free and structured, dynamic and exceptionally uncompromising - here nothing is spared. There is music here that is sure to speak to both a jazz audience, but also to rock people with open senses.” Tor Hammero Norway
