Trio Da Paz

Featuring three of Brazil's most in-demand musicians, Trio da Paz updates the infectious spirit of jazz-oriented Brazilian music. Formed in 1990 by Romero Lubambo, Nilson Matta and Duduka da Fonseca, the Trio redefines Brazilian Jazz with their harmonically adventurous interactions, daring improvisations and dazzling rhythms. All three are seasoned masters of both jazz and Brazilian music with impressive resumes.

Trio Da Paz: 30

Read "Trio Da Paz: 30" reviewed by Howard Mandel


Only very special collaborations last 30 years, and rarely do they become more exciting and together over the decades. Trio da Paz, however, is one such long-lasting and still lightning band. The team of drummer Duduka Da Fonseca, guitarist Romero Lubambo and bassist Nilson Matta, all Brasilian jazzmen of New York City, is just as dashing today as when the three first met in 1985. So 30 , their seventh album, wastes no time glancing back. Rather, Trio ...

Trio Da Paz: 30

Read "30" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Time really does fly when you're having fun. Just ask Trio da Paz. Guitarist Romero Lubambo, bassist Nilson Matta, and drummer Duduka Da Fonseca are celebrating three decades of togetherness with the aptly-titled 30. It's a collection of music that, like the best of their work, finds them merging the sounds of Brazil with the attitude of The Big Apple, creating Brazilian jazz that finds the perfect balance between the two poles in that genre's name. Past ...

Read "Trio Da Paz at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola" reviewed by Nick Catalano


Very often writers ignore popular jazz artists and groups on the theory that they have sufficient exposure and don't need further praise. As a result, some of the subtler, finer points of the aesthetics go unnoticed. In addition, popularity and high success can be a curse, bestowing certain problems lesser performers don't have. In recent months, Trio Da Paz, performing the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim, has had an unprecedented run of sold out performances at Dizzy's. ...

Trio Da Paz: Somewhere

Read "Somewhere" reviewed by Ollie Bivens


Brazil is a rich amalgam of Portuguese, African, and Indian cultures. And because of that, its musicians have always had the ability to take the music of other cultures, put it in a Brazilian mixer and produce something unique and satisfying to the taste, while still remaining Brazilian.

Three Brazilian-born musicians comprise Trio Da Paz, one of the best Brazilian jazz groups in the world: Romero Lubambo, Nilson Matta, and Duduka Da Fonseca. Somewhere, on the Blue Toucan label--which specializes ...

Trio da Paz: Somewhere

Read "Somewhere" reviewed by Jim Santella


Don't think that a trio consisting of acoustic guitar, acoustic bass, and drums with a name that translates to “Trio of Peace" is going to give you a mindless smooth jazz performance without any substance of note. No, Trio da Paz drives hard along jazz's mainstream, putting all their syncopated beats and spontaneous gestures into perspective with a Brazilian feel. Together, they create marvelous interpretations that gather momentum and come alive.

Familiar melodies such as Jobim's “Look to ...
