Songs of Longing

Fresh Sound Records (2025)

"Songs of Longing presents original compositions by Ricardo and two standards. It eloquently speaks for itself (...) The four members of Pinheiro’s international quartet have great ears, underpinning each other’s story lines with emphatic and stimulating ideas, comprising an exceptionally organic outfit. To boot, the group sound is gorgeous. Mellow like the wind that blows through fields of sunflowers. Solid and warm like a brother’s embrace." - François van de Linde (Jazz Journal UK)

Tone Stories

Fresh Sound Records (2024)

"I’ve known Ricardo Pinheiro for many years through recording and performing together, as well as through the International organization, IASJ. I consider him a gifted guitarist and composer, so I was very anxious to check out his latest project.
Beautiful, lyrical, swinging….all there as needed on this great recording. The musicians are committed with everyone 100% ready to hit. The result is wonderful. One can hear the men committed to every beat and nuance. The repertoire includes music from the American song book and some jazz standards, framed by interesting interplay and interpretations. Indeed, a true pleasure to listen to." - Dave Liebman

Gestures

AsUR/Inner Circle Music (2022)

"Gestures" and "Momentum" are Ricardo Pinheiro's two latest recordings, featuring Chris Cheek, Mário Laginha, João Paulo Esteves da Silva, Demian Cabaud and Alexandre Frazão.
The two albums were recorded live at the S. Luiz theater (Lisbon) as part of the “Festa do Jazz” Festival, and include my original compositions, through which the band members improvise using various languages of contemporary jazz.
These records show the confluence of different aesthetics and experiences that are revealed through spontaneous musical conversations between the musicians.
