Alvorada unites top musicians from London and Brazil whose diverse backgrounds in jazz, classical and Brazilian music lend the group a unique edge. Featuring Rachel Hayter (flutes), Andrew Woolf (clarinets / sax), Jeremy Shaverin (cavaquinho), Luiz Morais (7-string guitar) and Andres Ticino (percussion), their performances are filled with lively and expressive melodies, combining original compositions and classics of the genre, with infectious Brazilian grooves and playful interaction.
The band’s debut album First Light was released in 2019 to much critical acclaim, leading to BBC Radio 3 and JazzFM appearances and extensive tours to venues and festivals across the UK and beyond, including recent appearances at the London Jazz Festival and the Paris International Choro Festival.
Released in October 2024 their latest album, Faz Tempo, features intricate arrangements of original compositions and includes Brazilian rhythms such as choro, xote, samba, bossa nova and baião, with jazz and improvisation peppering their sound. Expect a vibrant, uplifting evening as this vibrant quintet arrive in Lyndhurst!
