Agenor Garcia

After writing music scores for short movies and theatre plays, Garcia recorded the album, “GIRAL” (never released), composed with his friend, the drummer Andre Togni. It stood out as a standard for the technique, creativity, and experimentations employed in his later works, it would be the cornerstone of what he would become as a composer.

His album “Symbiosis” is a good example of it. It was recorded in “one take mode”, where Garcia seeks the maximum of spontaneity, which he believes to be “where the beauty lives”. On “Aviv” he went even further, recording 'live” during a concert at CTJ Hall in Brazil. Both albums were produced by Glen Kolotikin, the Grammy-awarded producer who also has over 20 gold and platinum albums to his credit (record engineer for Glenn Gould, Miles Davis, Barbra Streisand among others). - Read more at www.glenkolotkin.com

Take Five With Agenor Garcia

”I have been working with Agenor Garcia, on his latest album. Age is talented, creative and has a very refreshing approach regarding his music”. - Glen Kolotkin (Grammy Award producer)

“Garcia has a gift for injecting subtle surprises into his compositions that will delight the attentive listener. The fluidity of his solo passages and a strong commitment to melody sometimes conceal some of the harmonic and rhythmic shifts he uses, but those are precisely the elements that establish Garcia as a jazz talent in the lineage of Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett”. - Shaun Dale (JazzReview.com)

“Delicate pianism that makes full use of the internal resonance of the instrument”. -All about jazz Editor's Comments
