Event information

Bright, punchy and modern, Ananda Brandão’s Quintet presents a set of originals with a unique sound finding wide inspiration in contemporary jazz and Brazilian music.

Awarded with the Musician’s Company’s 2024 Silver Medal, and twice winner of jazz contests such as 1st Prize of the Rezzo Competition by Jazz a Vienne with her French band “Ninanda”, Ananda Brandão is a half French half Brazilian drummer who has performed throughout Europe and Brazil with iconic jazz musicians such as Rhoda Scott, Marco Lobo, or else Clélya Abraham to name a few.

The band features amazing musicians from both European and UK jazz scenes : Kasper Rietkerk on alto saxophone, Dom Howard on guitar, Scottie Thompson on piano and Niklas Lukassen on bass. Combining the strength of Brazilian rhythm with modern sonorities of European jazz, this will be a very special evening not to be missed.
