Event information

Brazilian master pianist Benjamin Taubkin makes his UK debut at the
Vortex, fusing themes from Brazilian music, embracing both traditional
and modern expressions and world music influences. “Playing in a
tender, understated style that spoke from the heart. ‘Vibraçoes’ was
gracefully ecstatic; Jobim Morro Nao’s ‘Morro Tem Vez’, a lyric,
gentle samba, was light but rich; ‘Sabia Voou’ evoked the attentive
birds outside of Benjamin’s window in São Paulo; and ‘Consolação’ went
so deeply into the cone that I forgot I was supposed to be paying
attention” (AllAboutJazz).
