He has performed or recorded with musicians such as Steve Swallow, Ben Monder, Ari Hoenig, and George Garzone.

NEW BRAZILIAN PERSPECTIVES: RUBENS SALLES
Rubens Salles, piano;
John Clark, french horn;
Michel Gentile, flute;
Leco Reis, bass;
Kenny Grohowski, drums
Pianist Rubens Salles brings his unique style to the NYC scene, to launch his already celebrated newest album, Liquid Gravity Plus. This unconventional Brazilian-born composer explores a sophisticated mix of contemporary and classical influences. Liquid Gravity Plus brings a unique selection of originals and acclaimed standards and the result is absolutely unexpected. Rubens’ version of Girl from Ipanema, for instance, moves far away from Bossa Nova to offer new parameters in Brazilian rhythm; in Rarefeito, his own composition, Rubens traverses the intense world of melody proposing a fresh new approach in Polytonal Improvisation.
