JOÃO PAULO ESTEVES DA SILVA TRIO

The trio of João Paulo Esteves da Silva, Mário Franco, and Samuel Rohrer is a unique case in contemporary creative music. Within the history of piano, double bass, and drums trios, it can be placed within a post-Bley current, where lyricism and experimentation coexist. But, unlike most of these trios, this trio dedicates itself entirely to real-time composition, doing so, in any case, far from the parameters of so-called "free improvisation." The result sounds even more structured, with authentic songs or even more classically inclined pieces emerging from their creative process – sometimes minimalist, sometimes with intricate harmonies.

It is therefore noticeable that there is a meticulous concern with form , even though this form is always spontaneous and rarely predictable. There is also a meticulous concern with sound production, revealing the sensitivity of these instrumentalists.
