Felipe Salles Quartet

A native of São Paulo, Brazil, saxophonist, flutist and composer Felipe Salles has been a professor of Jazz and African American Music at UMass Amherst since 2010. He has performed and recorded with prominent jazz artists, including Randy Brecker, Paquito D’Rivera, David Liebman, Melissa Aldana, Lionel Loueke, Jerry Bergonzi and many more. He has toured extensively in Europe, North and South America, India, and Australia, as a sideman and as a leader of his own group.. His arrangements and compositions have been performed by some of the top groups in the world including The Metropole Orchestra, UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra, Cayuga Chamber Orchestra, Amazonas Band, Helsinki Philharmonic Violas, Meta4 String Quartet, Manhattan School of Music Jazz Orchestra, Manhattan School of Music Jazz Philharmonic Orchestra, New England Conservatory Jazz Orchestra, and New England Conservatory Wind Ensemble, among others. For this concert, he’ll be joined by pianist Nando Michelin, bassist Keala Maumeheiwa and drummer Bertrem Lehmann to perform music from his most recent recording, Camera Obscura, released on the Tapestry label in June 2025. “Camera Obscura does not dazzle with spectacle. It seduces with shadows, with carefully chosen silences, with the slow unfurling of a vision that refuses to conform to immediacy. In a world saturated with speed and surface, Felipe Salles reminds us that depth takes time, and that sometimes, the clearest truths appear not in the light, but in the half-light, where imagination and memory meet." - Thierry De Clemensat, Paris Move, June 1, 2025. $15 in advance, $20 at the door. Students $10. $5 for EBT/WIC card holders. Kids under 18 free at the door. **Show your advance ticket for 10% off dinner (excluding alcohol) at Tavolo, around the corner at 1918 Dorchester Avenue .
