ABOUT:
Bright, punchy, and vibrant, drummer Ananda Brandão presents a new quintet with a fresh set original music. Specially created for this performance, the band’s sound blends the driving energy of modern jazz with a contemplative, atmospheric spirit.
Winner of the Musician’s Company Silver Medal and 1st Prize at the Rezzo Competition by Jazz à Vienne with her band Ninanda, Ananda Brandão is a French-Brazilian drummer who has performed across the UK, Europe, and Brazil alongside artists such as Alex Hitchcock, Emma Rawicz, Anatole Muster, and Clélya Abraham. After completing her Master’s degree at the Royal Academy of Music in June 2025, she now bridges the Paris and London jazz scenes, fully engaged in both.
She is joined by leading musicians from the London jazz scene: Dom Howard (guitar), Jonny Mansfield (vibraphone), Laurie Rich (piano), and Ben Boardman (bass).
A vibrant, immersive, and intimate live show, not to be missed.
