The 8th edition of the Jazz at the Wineries (Jazz nas Adegas) concert series is restarting, with two concerts scheduled for 9pm on November 22 (Friday) and November 23 (Saturday) at the João Clara Winery in Silves.
Organised by the Municipality of Silves, this event offers a remarkable and unique experience at each session, featuring performances by two talented jazz groups: the first led by saxophonist Luís Miguel Domingos on November 22, and the second by renowned trumpeter Hugo Alves, artistic director of the Orquestra de Jazz do Algarve, on November 23.
This 8th edition of Jazz at the Wineries invites the public to explore the Algarve and discover local wineries in a perfect musical setting.
Each session is designed for guests to enjoy jazz concerts with different styles and backgrounds, where concerts are “handpicked” to harmonise with the refinement and personality of each winery. According to organisers, “every detail is crafted to create a unique atmosphere, transforming each session into a memorable experience”.
In total, 22 sessions will be held between November 22, 2024, and May 31, 2025, across various wineries and estates in the municipality of Silves.
João Clara Winery
João Clara is located in Alcantarilha and spans 28 hectares. Its story began in 1975 when João Clara purchased the property and planted his first vineyard, and is now run by Edite Alves and her daughters Ana and Joana Alves. The winery launched its first reference wine, João Clara Tinto Vinho Regional do Algarve, in 2006.
During the event, João Clara wines will be served alongside tapas prepared with regional products, providing an authentic fusion of flavours.
Luís Miguel Domingos Quartet
The quartet, led by saxophonist Luís Miguel Domingos, and comprised by Izaque Santos (double bass), Rui Freitas (drums), Vítor Guerreiro (guitar), will take the audience on a vibrant journey through Latin Jazz.
Combining rhythms such as bossa nova and other Latin sounds, the quartet will present both classics and original compositions, highlighting the rhythmic and melodic richness of the Americas, with influences from Brazil and the Caribbean, mixed with the swing and sensuality of bossa nova.
Hugo Alves Quartet
Renowned trumpeter Hugo Alves, artistic director of the Orquestra de Jazz do Algarve (OJA), will present a smooth jazz repertoire, covering classics that have shaped jazz history, including “Summertime”, “Cantaloupe Island”, and “Cold Duck Time”, and will be accompanied by Diogo Russo (piano), Maximiliano Llanos (drums), and Izaque Santos (double bass), members of the OJA, and promises a sophisticated musical experience.
