In his first US recording, Thiago Espirito Santo is emerging as one of the truly gifted musicians of our generation. His command of the electric bass guitar is beyond virtuosic. His jazz language is steep in the tradition of the jazz greats, like Johnny Griffin, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Jaco Pastorius, Dexter Gordion, Charlie Parker, and many more. Thiago brings his own bold voice to every note played with unparalleled time and energy. It is not exaggeration that Thiago is commonly referred to as Jaco on steroids. The beauty and power of Thiago's styling is evidenced in, "The Jazz Tradition."
