Corrosion reviews

“And, all together, of course, is a real delight. Here is an excellent example of electroacoustic musical discovery that calls for repeated auditions.” – https://beatsforpeeps.com/reviews/cadernos-do-underground-3/

“plunges the listener into an unfamiliar animal world” – JazzMania.be

Tom Ward / Nuno Trocado / Sérgio Tavares : Corrosion

“The communication is perfect, the three understand each other completely, and we get to take part in an extremely exciting journey in the free-flowing improvisational landscape that hits us in the middle of the soul.
Three exciting musicians based in Portugal and London, you really have to keep a close eye on them in the future.” – Salt Peanuts

TOM WARD / NUNO TROCADO / SÉRGIO TAVARES

“highly recommended for adventurous ears; not recommended for sensitive ears”

Reviews:

“The sonority of Ward’s bass clarinet is a key ingredient. It affords variety when Byrne writes parts where two horns play against one, which happens in all the possible combinations, and can also double Brice’s supple bass lines to excellent effect. ” – LondonJazzNews https://londonjazznews.com/2023/06/22/dee-byrne-outlines/?amp=1
