about

Francisco's own band, the Francisco Pais Quintet, features some of NY
best players and plays primarily original music that blends elements
of American jazz with European classical music and Pop. The quintet has been touring in Europe for five years, playing at a number of famous venues and jazz festivals including the Hot Club of Lisbon, the Cultural Center of Belem, the Almodovar Jazz festival, and Tomar Jazz Festival .As the leader of the quintet, Francisco has been fortunate to collaborate with musicians such as Chris Cheek, Massimo Biolcati, Dayna Stephens, Peter Slavov, Albert Sanz, Ferenc Nemeth, Nathan Blehar, Leo Genovese and Demien Cabaud. They have helped to shape the sound of his band and inspired his compositions.


"This is strong, exotic and compelling music played by a great band. In Francisco you hear a thoughtful and focused improviser and composer. His music is a provocative blend of traditional and modern jazz, very easy to listen to yet not lacking in depth, excitement or imagination. This CD confirms [to me] that Francisco is well on his way to discovering his own musical voice. I applaud his efforts, and the fine results he has achieved here."
- Hal Crook, trombone player
