The latest project from acclaimed Toronto based electric bassist and composer Marc Decho. This dynamic, multi-cultural ensemble brings to life an irresistible blend of rhythm, harmony, and improvisation through all-original Afro-Brazilian Jazz works.  With Bom Começo (“Good Beginning”), Marc Decho leads audiences on a soulful journey that bridges continents and cultures — honoring the timeless traditions of Afro-Brazilian music while pushing the boundaries of modern jazz.

By bringing together artists with deep ties to Brazilian, Afro-diasporic, Cuban and Portuguese musical practices, the project fosters cross-cultural dialogue, expands the sonic palette of Canadian jazz, and creates a space for innovative musical exploration that situates traditional rhythms of Bahia with the rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic innovations of modern jazz giants such as Hermeto Pascoal
