Marco Barroso, the composing big band leader on the piano, calls the current program of L.U.M.E., which stands for “Lisbon Underground Music Ensemble”, but also means “fire”, “Las Californias”. Hectic and urban, from speed polka to Hitchcockian soundtrack spheres to chamber musical free jazz outpourings, witty with absurd samples from old ads and films, full of breaks and unexpected turns, this music smolders between avant-garde circus music and modern classical sounds.
