Summer Bummer Festival: Turquoise Dream

Summer Bummer Festival: Turquoise Dream

Turqoise Dream is a different kind of string quartet, bringing together Carlos Zingaro on violin (a pioneer of free improvisation) and younger generations of improvisers from all over Europe: cellist Helena Espvall from Sweden, pianist Marta Warelis from Poland and Portugese guitarist Marcelo dos Reis. This quartet is an example of how free improvisation with an attention for textural and timbral detail can morph into instant composition. This way, Turquoise Dream redefines chamber music in a fascinating way. Their magnificent first album, recorded live at Lisbon’s Jazz Em Agosto festival, delivers the proof.
