Recorded in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in January 2016, jazz 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, known as the "Encontro das Aguas", where rivers meet without changing their colour, their essence. It reflects the album's connection with Brazil's rich natural diversity, while hinting at Dan Costa's mixed background, born in London (UK) to a Portuguese and Italian family.
It features Jaques Morelenbaum, Leila Pinheiro, Ricardo Silveira, Marcos Suzano, Teco Cardoso and other artists
