BRB2 unites Scotland-based James Brady (trumpet/flugelhorn) with one of the UK’s leading interpreters of Bossa Nova and Brazilian jazz, Ed Rice (piano). Rice is currently working on a PhD in interpreting bossa nova from the perspective of a jazz pianist, whilst Brady has been studying and playing the music of Brazil for over 10 years. Together, they bring a freshness and authenticity to playing the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim, Hermeto Pascoal, João Bosco and other giants of Brazilian jazz, combining flowing melody, rhythmic grace and open, breathing improvisation.
Long-time friends and collaborators Ed and James met in 2014 whilst studying at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Playing together on-and-off ever since, BRB is their first formal collaboration, building on their shared love of Brazilian music and particular Brazilian jazz. Ed’s PhD research into bossa nova gives him a unique perspective on music which has long formed an important part of the jazz repertoire, but has rarely been given the full attention it deserves, at least in Europe. Since moving to Glasgow in late 2021, James has rapidly made an impact on the Scottish jazz scene, including performing with the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra, launching a trio with Chris Greive and Graeme Stephen, and undertaking a Creative Scotland-funded research trip to New Orleans
