Sobre a Marmota / About Marmota

       A Marmota arrasta ao subterrâneo as sonoridades de Hermeto Pascoal e Aaron Parks, da balada americana e da batucada brasileira, do moderno clássico e do pós-moderno contemporâneo, e das profundezas destes entrecruzamentos desencava um prospecto. Após alguns anos de movimentação na revigorada cena jazz de Porto Alegre, a Marmota lança seu primeiro álbum, Prospecto. O quarteto formado por André Mendonça, Bruno Braga, Leonardo Bittencourt e Pedro Moser inicia nova fase, sustentada pelo amadurecimento desenvolvido nos últimos anos.

       André, Leonardo and Pedro are three friends who are involved with music since early in their lives. In 2011, after doing a summer program at Berklee College of Music, in Boston, they decided to perform and show their work in Porto Alegre. Together they created Marmota, a jazz band with influences both in the tradition as in the modern improvisational music. Along with them is experienced drummer Bruno Braga, who is not shy to expose his ability in the rhythm section. They have recently released their debut album “Prospecto” Personnel: Pedro Moser: guitars; Leonardo Bittencourt: piano; André Mendonça: double bass; Bruno Braga: drums
