Triology_vol.1
AMARO FREITAS
Amaro Freitas is a visionary pianist from Recife, Pernambuco, transforming Brazilian jazz’s sound by blending Afro-Brazilian rhythms with the influence of jazz legends like John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk. Growing up playing piano in church under his father’s guidance, Amaro’s natural talent quickly outgrew his early lessons. Today, as leader of the Amaro Freitas Trio, he continues to push the boundaries of jazz with a sound deeply rooted in the traditions of his homeland.
In August 2023, Gilles Peterson invited Amaro Freitas, along with renowned session musicians David Mrakpor and Sam “Barrell” Jones, to the Brownswood Basement in London to perform the very first Triology session.
In Collaboration With
Giles Peterson
In early 2023, renowned DJ, radio broadcaster and music producer Gilles Peterson, creator of Worldwide FM, conceived the concept of Triology.
Now, in partnership with Rhodes Music Group, Triology is brought to life. Set within the intimate surroundings of his new studio and centred around the Rhodes MK8, this immersive series brings together trios of incredible musicians and offers a space for creative, spontaneous performance.
Rhodes x Gilles Peterson Triology represents a fusion of tradition and innovation, curated for those passionate about great music. Guided by Gilles’ visionary spirit and aptitude for unearthing music gems, this series offers a rare opportunity to watch exceptional performances from masterful artists unfold in real time.
