The Attic

The Attic

Rodrigo Amado – tenor saxophone

Gonçalo Almeida – double bass

Onno Govaert – drums

Originally the meeting between Gonçalo Almeida, Rodrigo Amado and Marco Franco, three influential figures of the Portuguese improvised music scene, The Attic has evolved to include Dutch drummer Onno Govaert, a crucial member of the Amsterdam jazz scene and part of the youngest generation of European improvised music. Together, they recorded the second album of The Attic, Summer Bummer, live in Antwerp, and released Love Ghosts in 2022 (both on No Business records).

All About Jazz concluded that, “while Amado will no doubt continue to find willing partners among his fellow avant-garde luminaries, his trio recordings offer the most complete glimpse of his prowess, and Love Ghosts could be his best yet.”

Set between free jazz, improvisation and real time composition, the music recovers different elements from the jazz tradition, reconfiguring them in vibrant in-the-moment improvised songs, building and developing a fluid dialogue between the three musicians.
