ALEX HAMBURGER (flute/voice) & JOSÉ LUIZ MARTINS (piano/keys) is a duo project that explores many different styles through an interactive approach. Being from the Washington D.C. area and São Paulo and forming the group in Switzerland and then living in New York and settling in the D.C. area, they pull from many different influences, creating a unique and inter-genre repertoire that explores interplay in a fresh and captivating way. Their duo EP “Vapor Trails” recorded in Basel Switzerland where the two met was released in the summer of 2019 and they are currently releasing their debut full length album Catalog of Dreams in August 2026 on Challenge Records. The duo has played all around the world from jazz clubs to concert halls; from the East Coast to Brazil and all around Europe, always with the intention of giving the audience a unique experience that insights exploration and wonder.
After more than six years of performing, touring, and creating together, flutist/vocalist Alex Hamburger & pianist/keyboardist José Luiz Martins present Catalog of Dreams, their debut duo album. Featuring six reimagined works alongside two original compositions, the album reflects the pair's shared musical language, drawing from Brazilian music, jazz, the Great American Songbook, and contemporary influences. Recorded following a creative residency in Switzerland, Catalog of Dreams captures the duo's intimate yet groove-driven approach through a repertoire that includes music by Gilberto Gil, Airto Moreira, Wayne Shorter, Luisa Lacerda, and Thundercat, alongside original compositions that showcase their evolving artistic partnership. Thoughtfully arranged while leaving space for spontaneity, the album highlights two acclaimed musicians whose individual voices have merged into a singular sound.
