Francisco Pais

Francisco Pais

"Francisco's Guitar playing is tossed with challenging and tasteful blend of beautiful
harmony and melody lines. What a great player." Lionel Loueke

“This is strong, exotic and compelling music played by a great band. In Francisco you hear a thoughtful improviser and composer. His music is aprovocative blend of traditional and modern jazz, very easy to listen to yet not lacking in depth, excitement or imagination"
- Hal Crook Berklee professor, trombone legend

In the jazz world today, original songs with lyrics are rare treats. When jazz was at the height of its popularity and impact, the role of the vocalist was an important one, both lyrically and melodically. Francisco Pais provides the listener with a contemporary interpretation of an essential element in modern jazz— original, beautiful music that reaches the listener immediately and profoundly, through voice. Francisco presents wonderfully imaginative and extraordinarily fresh compositions. His performances pulse with exotic, interesting and powerful grooves throughout.

This music is a blend of so many unique styles. Moving from one composition to the next, the listener is treated to driving swing, odd-meter bolero, trip-hop backbeat, and modern rock— all firmly rooted in jazz tradition. Pais’s versatility and mastery of composition are obvious in every original work presented, and his musicians are not only strongly aware of, but are truly invested in his artistic vision. Given how mercurial the music industry has been of late, Pais’s commitment to his ideas and musical philosophy is refreshing. In fact, he has gone so far as to release his most recent album under his own label, Product of Imagination Records, in order to preserve that.

Give a listen to Fransisco Pais!

“...Pais has energy, ambition and desire. He proves through his music that the creative spirit can release thousands of impressions at once. His guitar soars in passionate displays that weave strong ties with his band mates. Their cohesive union makes for a strong foundation, which in turn releases acreative tide.”
“...Pais establishes a magical ballad countenance that enchants.” - Jim Santella All About Jazz
