Algarve Jazz Collective - Glass of Jazz
Club Farense hosts the supergroup Algarve Jazz Collective for an afternoon of sophisticated jazz and improvisation in the heart of downtown Faro.
On Sunday, March 8, 2026, the historic Club Farense becomes the epicenter of Algarve jazz with the 'Glass of Jazz' show, featuring the Algarve Jazz Collective. This ensemble, often described as a 'supergroup', brings together some of the most talented musicians with deep connections to southern Portugal, offering a sound that combines original compositions with the freedom of improvisation. The lineup features Desidério Lázaro on tenor saxophone, Leon Baldesberger on trumpet, Miguel Martins on guitar, Marco Martins on bass, and Maximiliano Llanos on drums.
The concert will serve as a platform to present the group's debut album, titled 'Playground'. The record is the result of an artistic residency and reflects the individual maturity of its members, fused into a cohesive and adventurous group sound. The intimate atmosphere of Club Farense, located in a beautiful building on Rua Santo António, is the ideal venue for this type of performance, allowing for a rare proximity between musicians and audience. The 'Glass of Jazz' concept suggests exactly that—a musical tasting where every note can be savored like a fine wine.
The event starts at 6:00 PM, making it the perfect late-afternoon plan for both residents and tourists. The Algarve Jazz Collective has been instrumental in boosting the local jazz scene, and this show demonstrates the international quality of production in the Algarve. If you are looking for an authentic and relaxed cultural experience in Faro, this concert offers a glimpse into the city's artistic sophistication, set in an environment full of history and great music.
