The digital EP “Samambaia” by the Brazilian pianist/composer Henrique Gomide and the Dutch double bassist/composer/producer Jasper Somsen is a brand new collaboration between two Challenge Records artists, who first met at the annual international Jazzahead trade fair 2024 in Bremen (Germany). The two internationally renowned musicians share their love for the European, American and Brazilian music tradition. Classical, Jazz and Brazilian music effortlessly blend in their compositions and improvisations. Their versatile and inspiring interplay is the natural sum of artistry, craftsmanship and a deep mutual respect.
The three tracks on the EP (Samambaia, Turtle Dreams and A New Dawn) were recorded live in duo at the beautiful former chapel and art gallery De Verzameling, Westervoort in The Netherlands, on March 6, 2025 The EP is the prelude for their quartet album, which is scheduled for a Challenge Records release in the fall of 2026.
