Também

Também is a woman-led quartet based in Durham, NC specializing in the Brazilian musical styles of bossa nova, samba, and baião. The brain child of pianist Ingrid Nora Knight, the quartet features Uruguayan drummer Gastón Reggio, flutist Rebecca Kleinmann, and bassist Andy Powell. Characterized by rhythmic play and improvisation, Também's music is deeply groove-oriented and thought provoking. They released their debut album entitled "Esmeralda" last October and are currently working on their sophomore album, a project funded by the Durham Arts Council to be released later this year.
