Figueiredo is a Brazilian pianist, composer, arranger and musical director, and a recipient of the BDMG Instrumental Award. His releases include Trio, Antes do Fim and 2025’s Em Casa, with Gabriel Grossi; his collaborators include Leila Pinheiro, Céu, Toninho Horta and Beto Guedes. He also curates Brazil’s Tudo é Jazz festival.
A basement club in Bedford-Stuyvesant, LunÀtico is a musician-owned space where live music starts at 9pm nightly, following dinner service. The stage is modest, with a single chair for the band, and the audience sits on wooden booths or the floor, close enough to feel the energy. The room is lit by dim bulbs, with walls lined with vintage posters and a few well-worn speakers. There's a bar with original cocktails, craft beer, and wine, and a dinner menu available from 6pm to 11pm. Shows are donation-based, with a $10 recommendation in cash. It's a place where people listen to music and talk afterward, in a familiar, unpolished setting.
