Paulinho Vicente
Brazilian drummer Paulinho Vicente has been developing his musical career for many years, establishing himself as both a performer and researcher in the instrumental music scene. His academic training at Unicamp — where he completed his undergraduate degree in 2020, his Master’s in 2024, and is currently pursuing a PhD — complements and deepens an already ongoing artistic trajectory, expanding his creative and academic investigations.

In recording sessions and/or concerts, he has worked with artists such as Izzy Gordon, Wanda Sá, Vanessa Moreno, Agnaldo Rayol, Clara Moreno, Carla Casarim, Joyce Moreno, Dominguinhos, Anna Setton, Céu, Paula Lima, Fernanda Abreu, Vitor Kley, Roberta Campos, Simoninha, Xande de Pilares, Jairzinho, Roberta Miranda, Jane Duboc, Luiz Carlos Sá, Renato Teixeira, Arthur Verocai, Ellen Oléria, among many others. He has also collaborated with renowned names from the international instrumental scene, such as European saxophonists Baptiste Herbin (FRA), Lukas Pfeil (GER), and German bassist Jens Lo.
He has also performed with Cuban musician Felipe Lamoglia and North American artists such as Ted Nash, Marcus Printup, Chad Lefkowitz, Jake Kelberman, Scott Belck, Trent Austin, Woody Witt, Ryan Keberle — with whom he recorded the albums “Sonhos da Esquina – Ryan Keberle’s Collectiv do Brasil” and “Considerando” (2023) —, Alejandro Aviles, Bob Shew, Davy Mooney — with whom he recorded the album “Way Back” (2023) —, John Ellis, Alison Crockett, and Ohad Talmor.
He has performed at festivals across Brazil, Latin America, and Europe. In July 2022, he was in New York for the recording of pianist Dan Costa’s album Beams, alongside major jazz figures such as John Patitucci, Dave Douglas, Mike Stern, Dave Liebman, and Hermeto Pascoal.

Ryan Keberle & Collectiv do Brasil: Choro das Aguas
by Katchie Cartwright
Ryan Keberle began to study music at age four in jny: Spokane, first at the piano with his mother, Ann, followed by Suzuki violin lessons. His father Dan, a university jazz director, encouraged him to pick up the trombone at 10, for the sensible reason that he always seemed to be short a trombonist in his ensembles. Ryan acquiesced, and it has served him well. He was playing in adult big bands at 15, and is ...

by Maurizio Zerbo
Considerando è una delle realizzazioni più mature e riuscite di jazz brasiliano negli ultimi anni. Ne è protagonista uno straordinario quartetto in grado di riproporre da una prospettiva più complessa la tradizione rivisitata, regalando al pubblico una delle letture più eleganti e raffinate di questo repertorio. La collaborazione tra Ryan Keberle e il gruppo di San Paolo Collectiv do Brasil arriva al secondo capitolo di un progetto che evita accuratamente le formule manieristiche o da cartolina oggi purtroppo ...

by Craig Arthur
UK-born pianist Dan Costa plays and composes in the impressionistic tradition of Bill Evans, acoustic Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea or Marcin Wasilewski. It is a style that lends itself well to the alchemy of turning light into music, music into light. And his subject matter of choice on Beams, like that of an impressionist painter, is indeed light. He describes the album as “a celebration of light in some key physical and metaphysical forms." Light is like water, ...

by Dan Bilawsky
Ryan Keberle's broad musical interests have led him to create some distinctly different ensembles. This top-tier trombonist and composer has grown and developed his own double quartet, laid out a wide-ranging vision across a handful of albums with the compact Catharsis, explored the flow of influences between jazz and classical music in Reverso and honored and extended the sound of large ensembles through the Big Band Living Legacy Project and All Ears Orchestra. Now, branching out in yet another direction, ...

by Dan McClenaghan
Trombonist Ryan Keberle fell in love with Brazilian music. It happens. Who has not experienced infatuation on an encounter with Getz/Gilberto (Verve, 1964), from saxophonist Stan Getz and vocalist, guitarist & tunesmith Joao Gilberto. But for Keberle, it was the music of Elis Regina that led him to travels to Sao Paulo in 2017, and a hook-up with Paulista musicians Felipe Silveira, bassist Thiago Alves and drummer Paulinho Vicente, who support the trombonist on Sonhos Da Esquina. A ...
