PROJECT ENRIQUE THOMPSON & REVIRADO PROJECT

Tango-Jazz Fusion • Innovation in Modern Saxophone

Combining the passion of tango with the improvisational freedom of jazz, Proyecto Revirado brings a fresh and captivating perspective to two rich musical histories. Led by Argentine saxophonist Enrique Thompson, the quintet balances intense South American energy with intricate arrangements.

From their base in Spain’s Canary Islands, the group gives audiences an innovative experience which straddles continents but never loses sight of the improvisational freedom of jazz. In the words of 5x Grammy winner Arturo O’Farril: “it’s art in its highest form!”

“Revirado Project is art in its highest form…”
Arturo O’Farrill
– Winner of 5 Grammy Awards (Cuba/US)

 

“Enrique Thompson, a dynamic saxophonist from Argentina based in the Canary Islands and Vienna, blends fiery jazz improvisation with the passion of Argentine tango. Leading Revirado Project, he redefines tango-jazz fusion with modern harmonies, virtuosic solos, and rhythmic intensity. The ensemble has toured internationally, earning acclaim for its “electrifying stage energy” (Arturo O’Farrill – 5 Grammy awarded) and “a captivating ensemble that masterfully blends the passionate rhythms of tango with the improvisational freedom of jazz, creating a unique and exhilarating fusion”

All About Jazz


“Revirado Project is a captivating ensemble that masterfully blends the passionate rhythms of tango with the improvisational freedom of jazz, creating a unique and exhilarating fusion. Their music showcases intricate arrangements, emotive melodies, and a seamless interplay between instruments. One of their standout tracks, “Song for Someone / Canción para Alguien”, highlights their artistry through melodic depth, dynamic shifts, and expressive improvisation. The saxophone takes center stage, replacing the traditional bandoneón, supported by lush piano harmonies and the rhythmic drive of double bass. The piece offers a deeply personal yet universal narrative, inviting reflection and emotional connection.”
