Jogo Duro - Jogo Duro

Released in July 2024 by Nublu Records, Jogo Duro is the self-titled debut album born from a collaboration between saxophonist Ilhan Erşahin and São Paulo-based musicians Guizado, Zé Nigro, Chicao, Samuel Fraga, and Tony Gordin.

Created spontaneously over three days in the studio, the record features six polished tracks blending city-born jazz and expansive modern grooves with jazz-funk influences. Tracks like Pebolim, Pega Leve, Compro Ouro, and Quebra Queixo present a vibrant atmosphere rich in improvisation, balancing energy with sophistication.
