Vitor Pereira Quintet

“Vitor Pereira’s quintet moves with a light, flowing touch which can be infectious. They expertly mix tight rhythmic control with acrobatic sax and guitar lines which are woven into fun shapes. They are a very worthy element of the London jazz scene” – All About Jazz

The history of this band goes back to London 2009. Initially as a quartet they have been focusing mainly on original music, experimenting through a broad range of aesthetics as well as band members and culminating in the full grown and conceptually strong band it is today.

They jumped into international recognition in 2012 with the release of their debut album Doors and have published three other studio albums since. New World in 2016, Somewhere in the Middle in 2018 and Jung in 2022.

Their music unveils a myriad of influences from wild jazz and evolving minimalistic textures to explosive rock riffs. There’s games of light, somber atmospheres and bursts of lyrical melodic themes.

They have been astonishing audiences with memorable performances from London’s underground jazz clubs to trendy Portuguese jazz festivals.
