In recent times, it is frequently heard that we are living in absolutely  unique times for Portuguese creative music. Jazz and improvised music  made in Portugal has benefited from a growing number of musicians with  different backgrounds, bringing a diversity to the scene that has ended up  being its greatest asset.

From the first hearing of some recordings  the group had made, it seemed to us that the work the quintet was  developing - outside the major centres and with only a tenuous connection to the established jazz milieu  - was worthy of our support.

This is how, in mid-2014, the JACC - Jazz at the Centre Club invited
Slow is Possible for an artistic residency as part of XJAZZ - the
Aldeias do Xisto Jazz Cycle, that JACC promotes together with ADXTUR
(Schist Villages Tourism Development Agency).

The Aldeias do Xisto Network  has significantly supported this effort to support  such creation, establishing itself as a region of excellence in welcoming  artists and providing them with the best conditions in which to work. One year after  their artist residency, the album is finally out! 

On 4 November Slow is Possible will perform in Viseu at the Viriato Theatre and on 5 November in Coimbra at the Gil Vicente Academic Theatre.
