Recorded in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, jazz/world music album Suite Três Rios recaptures the essence of Brazilian rhythms, with shades of classical music. The name is inspired by the confluence of the Solimões and Negro Rivers in the Amazon Rainforest – the Encontro das águas – reflecting the album’s connection with Brazil’s rich natural diversity. It also hints at Dan Costa’s own background, born in London to a Portuguese and Italian family.

Mixed by Jan Erik Kongshaug and mastered by John Greenham, the album features artists such as Jaques Morelenbaum, Marcos Suzano, Ricardo Silveira and Leila Pinheiro.
