BRAZILIAN MUSIC AND JAZZ: MUTUAL ADMIRATION AND INFLUENCE

Registration is closed

Mon. 9:30-10:30

We will explore the melodic and rhythmic vitality of Brazilian music, which formed a natural bond with idioms of jazz, inspiring many crossover artists. Brazilian music and jazz grew in parallel from similar roots in different hemispheres. The interaction of both genres created an even richer and potentially more interesting fusion of what each had to offer. Many jazz players incorporated Brazilian tunes, instruments, and musical gestures in their repertory, and many Brazilian composers did the same with jazz.
