Brazilian Jazz on the River - Felippe Oliveira Quartet
Felippe Oliveira Quartet
Entry Requirements: Under 16s are not permitted in the venue. Under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.
Felippe Oliveira Quartet brings the harmonic warmth of Minas Gerais to Bull's Head for one night only.
Fronted by guitarist Felippe Oliveira, alongside Oscar Ho (bass), Tim Li (piano) and Wellington Toniato (drums), the quartet channels the spirit of Milton Nascimento and Hermeto Pascoal through entirely original compositions, blending Brazilian instrumental tradition with contemporary jazz improvisation.
Expect an intimate night of collective interaction and genre-crossing musicianship, the kind of show you'll still be talking about the next morning.
