Created by pianist, Paulo Bottas, Frizson is a band that may perform in multiple settings (duo, trio, quartet, etc). Frizson is dedicated to a varied repertoire, composed mainly of World Music, while keeping the jazz sound. This originated with Paulo Botta’s idea of developing a homogeneous musical language suited for approaching the repertoire of the three Americas (South, Central and North). Taking jazz harmony and contemporary music as a basis, Frizson appropriates rhythms and melody from known--and sometimes lesser known--tunes from the Americas and proposes to the audience a reinterpretation of these tunes and compositions with a modern and sophisticated sonority.
