Philip Catherine – guitar; Paulo Morello – guitar; Sven Faller – bass
“Pourquoi” is a composition by Philip Catherine lending its name to the second studio encounter with his guitar confrere Paul Morello and Sven Faller on bass. A “Pourquoi” which – yes, you read this right – is doing quite well without the question mark – a word- and title play through which the jazz guitar doyen Philip Catherine (b. 1942 is outing himself as a witty prankster and a joker in life and on stage; a living, young- at-heart jazz legend, turning eighty in 2022; a great musician, appreciated as a national hero in Belgium, the small country with the great jazz scene.

Guitarist Paulo Morello and his three equally talented co-musicians merge jazzy bop and the variety of rhythms, forms and moods of Brazilian music into something new and beautiful. Paulo Morello has put together an exquisite band for ‘Sambop’, Lula Galvão (born 1962), is the star guest from Brazil on the acoustic guitar and one of the masters of his profession, who has played with Caetano Veloso, Rosa Passos, Ivan Lins and Guinga. The rhythmic drive is provided by Eduardo “Dudu” Penz on electric bass and Mauro Martins on drums – two Brazilians living in Switzerland, for Paulo Morello “the best Brazilian rhythm section in all of Europe”.
