quotes
“In no time, drummer João Valinho has turned into one of the most visible and dependable voices of the Lisbon scene, with a dexterity that is matched by quick-fire responses and explosiveness.” Guy Peters, The Free Jazz Collective (June 2023)
“João was a surprise from the first moment we played together. He’s uncommonly agile – everything he plays sounds natural, effortless – an organic musician, connected to the earth” Rodrigo Amado (2021)
“Valinho is capable of dropping sudden bombs, just like Steve Noble, Paal Nilssen-Love and Han Bennink can, but just as well deviates from the well-known path with concise accelerations and detours” Guy Peters, The Free Jazz Collective (June 2023)
