Event Description
Milton Nascimento’s many collaborations with Herbie Hancock, dating back to the 1969 album Courage, have made an indelible mark on the history of both jazz and Brazilian music. And one listen to Wayne Shorter’s landmark Native Dancer (1975) reminds us why Nascimento occupies a very special place among world-jazz icons. An international array of artists has covered his songs, but with a gorgeous multi-octave voice and sumptuous melodic imagination the Brazilian superstar is the most effective interpreter of his own music.
For this performance, Nascimento focuses on the bossa nova standards that provided him with early inspiration, songs he explores on his 2008 album, Novas Bossas. As on the CD, he’s accompanied by the superlative Jobim Trio (actually a quartet) featuring guitarist Paulo and pianist Daniel Jobim, bassist Rodrigo Villa and master drummer Paulo Braga. It’s a rare opportunity to hear one of the world’s most influential musicians delve into the songs that shaped him. |
