Fail Better!

Fail Better!'s second release is a limited edition LP on NoBusiness Records. This Portuguese ensemble, featuring trumpeter Luis Vicente, guitarist Marcelo Dos Reis, saxophonist Joao Guimaraes, bassist José Miguel Pereira, and drummer Joao Pais Filipe, delivers spontaneous, lyrical improvisations with quiet intensity. The group emphasizes collective interplay, with Vicente's melodic trumpet often intertwining with Guimaraes' sax, while Dos Reis provides rhythmic grounding. Tracks like 'Former Times' balance slow horns with fast rhythms, creating tension, while 'Circular Measure' nods to Miles Davis' electric era with its groove and trumpet calls.
