Caio Afiune celebrates the release of his second album, “Every Choice is an Act of Courage,” featuring some of the greatest up and coming jazz musicians in the Boston and New York Scene, Jessica Curran (voice), Henrique Eisenmann (piano), James Heazlewood-Dale (bass), Avery Logan (drums), Nick Brust (alto saxophone).
“It was no surprise how much I loved Caio’s new recording after hearing his masterful playing for several years. My first impression was, this is today’s music. The amount of presence to play on that level is amazing. The time feel, articulation and sophistication of the music grabs you. Each tune has a hook and it is a must listen.” - Jerry Bergonzi
"Caio is a legitimate hybrid - he combines, in perfect doses, the music of his native Brazil and that of Jazz” - Luciana Souza
Guitarist and composer Caio Afiune has spent the last ten years making a lasting impression on the US's East Coast Jazz Scene. Caio has performed extensively as a sideman accompanying jazz giants such as Jerry Bergonzi and Christian Sands, Brazilian legends Jacques and Paula Morelenbaum, collaborating with the international collective Imagine 5, and leading his own project, the Caio Afiune Quintet.
Originally from São Paulo, Brazil, Afiune’s compositions uniquely blend together the essence of Brazil, and his deep knowledge of the North American Jazz tradition. His debut album, “Caio Afiune,” received widespread acclaim. The title track, "Prebenda," was awarded an ASCAP Young Jazz Composer Award, and the closing track “Dido,” was not only an official finalist in the 2015 Hollywood songwriting competition, but won the 2016 Downbeat Award for best small ensemble composition. Since leaving his home country, Caio has been seen performing in Canada, Australia, Panama, Sweden, Finland, and touring throughout the United States.
