In essence, Bruno Calvo is a jazz trumpeter, but he also displays influences from classical music and various other styles; one can hear that he grew up in Cádiz, the cradle of flamenco. In the past years Bruno has been performing in a variety of formations; from duo, quartet, quintet to big band.
“Bruno is really carrying the torch, and it’s a pleasure to see & hear him take improvisational risks, fearlessly pushing past any sense of a comfort zone.
