Zé Eduardo Unit

**Zé Eduardo Unit** is a dynamic jazz ensemble led by Portuguese bassist, composer, and bandleader Zé Eduardo (José Eduardo Gomes). Rooted in Lisbon’s vibrant jazz scene, the group blends modern improvisation with nods to Portuguese musical traditions, creating a sound that’s both inventive and deeply connected to cultural roots. Known for their lively live performances, the Unit often collaborates with guest artists, embracing spontaneity and cross-genre experimentation. Recent releases like *Live In Capuchos* and *A Jazzar No Zeca* capture their raw, interactive energy, while *Unities Begur* reflects their international reach, recorded in Spain’s Costa Brava region. Zé Eduardo’s work as a mentor and organizer in Portugal’s jazz community further cements the Unit’s role as a driving force in contemporary European jazz.
