QUARTET
A compact line-up where guitar, winds, bass and drums meet across jazz, blues, bossa, samba-jazz and Brazilian music.
JAZZ · BRAZILIAN MUSIC · IMPROVISATION
In the Ginga show, the Roberto Rosemberg Quartet combines jazz, blues, bossa and samba-jazz standards with compositions by the musicians and ample room for improvisation.
The current line-up features Roberto Rosemberg on guitar, Tino Junior on sax and flute, Carlos Duba on bass and Helbe Machado on drums. The project places musical dialogue at the center of the performance, leaving space for tone, dynamics and real-time creation.
CURRENT LINE-UP
Four distinct careers meet in a line-up built around listening, improvisation and instrumental dialogue.
Roberto Rosemberg is a guitarist, acoustic guitarist, composer and producer. He studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston from 1981 to 1984 and, since the 1990s, has developed original work through his own groups, connecting jazz, blues, Brazilian music and Afro-Latin rhythms. Leading the Roberto Rosemberg Quartet, he emphasizes improvisation, interaction and freedom of arrangement across original music, bossa nova, samba-jazz and blues.
Tino Jr. is one of the notable saxophone talents of Rio de Janeiro’s instrumental music scene and has performed alongside artists including Emílio Santiago, Zeca Pagodinho, Elza Soares, Elymar Santos, Zé Renato, Os Cariocas, Mario Adnet, Arthur Maia and Pascoal Meirelles, among others.
Carlos Duba played and recorded with numerous musicians and bands in Europe during the 18 years he lived there. After returning to Brazil, he toured throughout Europe and Japan as a member of singer and composer Celso Fonseca’s band. On Rio de Janeiro stages he has performed with a wide variety of artists, including Beto Saroldi, Cecelo Frony, Nando Chagas and Jan Dumée (ex-Focus), among others.
Helbe Machado has accompanied major names in Brazilian popular music such as Oswaldo Montenegro, Ithamara Koorax and Pery Ribeiro, as well as leading instrumental artists including Paulo Moura, Leo Gandelman and Adriano Giffoni, among many others.

QUARTET RELEASE
Since the 1990s, Roberto Rosemberg has developed original work through his own groups, with guitar and acoustic guitar at the center of a language connecting jazz, blues, Brazilian music and Afro-Latin rhythms.
In the Roberto Rosemberg Quartet, that path takes on a compact line-up open to interaction: Roberto Rosemberg on guitar, Tino Junior on sax and flute, Carlos Duba on bass and Helbe Machado on drums.
The Quartet's repertoire combines compositions with jazz, blues, bossa nova and samba-jazz themes, always leaving room for improvisation and for arrangements to change from one performance to the next. The Ginga show captures this approach through the dialogue between guitar, winds and rhythm section.
Live recordings include Batida Diferente, Ginga and Influência do Jazz, along with other performances available on Roberto Rosemberg's official channel.
