It has been twenty years since the 1996 release of Carlos Bicaʼs Azul, the Portuguese double bass player’s debut recording with German guitarist Frank Möbus and the American drummer Jim Black. Since then, Carlos Bica & Azul has been touring and pleasing audiences worldwide over the past twenty years. In the fall of 2016, celebrating the Portuguese-German-American band’s 20^th anniversary they released their sixth album, More Than This. This new release reflects the same music that their audiences have learned to love since the very beginning and delivers beyond those expectations. The music conjures up old memories while exploring new musical territories. This mature group of musicians has produced an album that opens new doors, looking to discover whatʼs on the other side.
