Sei Miguel

	Esfíngico (2010) Suite for a Jazz Combo New jazz has emerged in an unexpected place. This time Lisbon is where it's at. (Joe Morris)
	The Tone Gardens (2006) "as deceptively simple and unfathomably complex as a shaft of sunlight breaking through the leaves." (The Wire) “a refreshing, thought-provoking performance, beautifully conceived." (Bagatellen)
	Token (1999) Slow to develop, this beguiling music luxuriates in its own ample space. All of the musicians do come together for the final piece, the most spaced-out wah-wah blues you'll ever hear. A very satisfying recording which gains in impact each time it is played. (Rubberneck)
	Showtime (1996) Now out of print, a beautiful record documenting my first recorded collaboration (on guitar) with Sei Miguel (trumpet), also featuring Fala Mariam (trombone), Luís San-Payo (snare), Menina do Tambor (gong) and Pedro Bretes (bass).
