Nuno Marinho DNA Album

Nuno Marinho DNA Album

Nuno Marinho DNA Album is the 1st of original compositions from the Best Jazz Instrumentalist of the 2010 edition of S. Luiz Jazz Festival. This work clearly demonstrates both the reasons that led him to win this award and the fast and upward trend that he has experienced since then. In the words of Rui Eduardo Paes from Jazz.pt magazine:

“Nuno Marinho is a versatile guitarist with technical sophistication and great sensitivity. The influence that Pat Metheny has on his playing is obvious, and the jazz-funk-rock of his trio with Augusto Macedo (electric bass) and Diogo Leonidas (drums) has somewhat orthodox contours, revealing his own vision and strong arguments that shaped this album.

All written by Marinho, the themes are functional, leaving the focus on what is happening in improvisation. This is intense and objective, flowing with ease, ideas and purpose.

The slower, introspective songs are the strong suit of the musician born in Coimbra, now living in Lisbon: “Abandono” and “Bruised, Battered and Broken” are pieces that make us want to listen to them again and again, due to the composer’s ability to reveal sadness as a good emotion. Still, the identity of this project is revealed in tunes such as “Rock Bop” and “Playful Bites”. It is there that Nuno Marinho’s guitar playing excels.”
