Jazz Samba
Friday 12 September, 8.00-10.00pm
Jazz Samba takes its inspiration and name from Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd’s ground-breaking 1962 album, the first ever fully-fledged bossa nova album recorded by American jazz musicians which topped the LP charts on its release and produced its own pop hit single ‘Desafinado’
Led by John Wilson’s star soloist Mark Crooks on saxophone and clarinet and the award-winning guitarist Nigel Price with John Cervantes (piano), Marianne Windham (double bass) and Demi Garcia Sabat (drums/percussion), this is a joyous celebration of the blending of Brazilian rhythms, jazz attitude and the majestic compositions of Antonio Carlos Jobim, Joao Donato and Sergio Mendes.
