2 EARLY DAYS AND HISTORY JAZZ FESTIVALS NEXT YEARS MERETRIO was brought together in São Paulo - Brazil in 2004, as an initiative of EMILIANO Sampaio (guitar and trombone), GUSTAVO Boni (acoustic and electric bass) and LUIS ANDRÉ (drums and percussion), with the purpose of researching the diversity of modern instrumental music. Since its inception, the group has consistently explored the creativity in instrumental music, developing a work that mixes Brazilian rhythms, jazz elements and chamber music approach. In 2014 the trio invited six horn players from Graz - Austria to record the album Mereneu Project, which won the Downbeat Student Award for Best 2014 Jazz Group. In 2015 Meretrio released a new ambitious album called Tourists with Big Band instrumentation, which won prizes from the Downbeat magazine and a composition prize at the Graz Jazz Composition Contest. MERETRIO has already played in the most important brazilian jazz festivals : TEATRO OI FUTURO Rio de Janeiro 2016 SAVASSI JAZZ FESTIVAL B.

4 SOME WORDS ABOUT MERETRIO...Emiliano Sampaio and his group have created something very special with this recording, and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do. ED PARTYKA, conductor of the HR Big Band (Frankfurt), about the CD Mereneu Project (2014) Watch out! They are coming... Pedro Assad and Meretrio are in the kitchen and bringing the ingredients they acquired in their productive research, high energy, good taste, humor, courage, mixing it with the mastery of a chef. Prepare your taste, buds, because there is food full of spices. PAULO BRAGA, coordinator from São Paulo Estate Music School, about Meretrio Na Cozinha (2010) What a lovely track. The choppiness of the opening guitar notes leads into a languid ballad that gets more dreamy as it goes along. Just beautiful. ALL ABOUT JAZZ, about the track Pé de Moça (on Meretrio, 2012) Meretrio is one of those groups that is not satisfied with the common place, always seeking out novelties, language and identity... ULISSES ROCHA, guitar professor at University of Florida USA, about Meretrio album (2007) Meretrio is a cohesive unit that favours a tight, groove-oriented sound, but one that allows for immense freedom within that space. BRIAN ZIMMERMAN, Downbeat Magazin About the Album Óbvio (2017) Conscious music, full of surprises, sort of Kurt Weill, Mingus, trying to get rid of the jazz tyranny, while creativity. This is what show Emiliano and his companions. ROBERTO SION, conductor from the São Paulo Youth Jazz Orchestra, about Projeto Meretrio album (2009)
