The Edu Ribeiro Trio is one of the most solid and distinctive formations in contemporary Brazilian jazz. Led by Edu Ribeiro, a five-time Grammy-winning drummer and a key figure in today’s scene, the trio offers a language that blends jazz sophistication with Brazilian roots, delivering a deeply organic sound with a clear narrative vocation.

The project revolves around News, the trio’s latest album, conceived for the classic jazz lineup of guitar, double bass and drums, reinterpreted here under the drummer’s leadership. Accompanied by Vinicius Gomes on guitar and Samuel Passos on double bass, Ribeiro presents a repertoire where composition and performance converse through a contemporary Brazilian sensibility. The pieces combine lyricism, groove and ample space for collective interaction.

On this album, Ribeiro shares the authorship of the compositions with musicians who have been pivotal in his artistic journey, reflecting on the vital meaning of the repertoire. “I wanted to record songs that have been part of my life, songs I have played many times in different countries directly with their composers, here redesigned from a new perspective that represents the moment I am living,” explains the drummer during the album presentation.
