“Trumpeter Vicente is a significant emerging talent, a brassy, forceful trumpeter with a quick mind…”

“His brass sensibility calls upon the free playing of Don Cherry and the free bop of Freddie Hubbard in equal measure.”

“The lyrical component manifests most obviously in Vicente’s trumpet, (…) Of course, the trumpeter also splutters and exclaims explosively. But whatever he does packs charge.”

“That’s one of the joys of listening to him play: he’s got an undeniable ear for melody, but he’s also not afraid to draw all of the primal physicality out of his horn – sometimes he sputters, sometimes he spits out lines with acerbic intensity, but he always keeps your attention.”

“Luís plays trumpet notefully flued and sonically informed.”
