What they say
"Congratulations, Salomão — beautiful, wonderfully played and interpreted, a marvel of an album! And it's exactly when I compose my music that I imagine what you've done here!"
Hermeto Pascoal · on the album Interior"It's a different musical proposal… that's the richness of someone who knows, who has something to bring out."
Amilton Godoy · Pianist"Salomão Soares creates here a new Brazilian piano — sensational grooves that echo the original rhythms with precision and subtlety."
Léa Freire · Composer and arranger"One of the keyboard's most active defenders and modernists today."
André Mehmari · Pianist"Salomão Soares demonstrates, with this album, everything that makes a musician unique."
Mário Laginha · Pianist · on the album Espirais"Salomão is a genius, of monumental sensitivity. I'm a fervent fan of his!"
Guilherme ArantesIn the press
"His piano is of the same kind as Egberto Gismonti's and André Mehmari's — the indescribable beauty of his richly colored sound already seems to be on another dimensional level."
Música Terra · Japan · on Interior Read article ↗"Salomão Soares aprofunda a 'profundidade' e a 'elegância' do piano brasileiro."
Katsuaki Hanada · e-magazine LATINA · Japan Read article ↗"Odeio quando críticos descrevem artistas fazendo arte comum como 'redefinindo o gênero' — mas, no caso desse duo, não poderia ser mais apropriado."
Al Clapper · Texx and the City · on the duo with Vanessa Moreno, Cape Town Int. Jazz Festival 2026"…an imaginative improviser whose sound bridges classical, jazz, and the vibrant traditions of Brazil's northeast."
