At this concert Luis Reis, a singer-instrumentalist of several traditions, presents his repertoire of blues and ballads that are at the origin of jazz music. In the blues songs he uses the authentic technique of ‘finger-picking’, as the old bluesmen did to bring the ragtime pianosound over to their guitar. Luis Reis has a history of playing blues and jazz in numerous places of repute, from the Hot Club do Portugal to Italian television and American jazz clubs. We can now enjoy him in Brussels where he has been living for the last years.
