LATIN JAZZ @ MONDO CD Release Tour Event with BOSSA BRASIL® QUARTET in Concert
A special CD release tour concert with the popular BOSSA BRASIL® QUARTET comes to the popular monthly LATIN JAZZ @ MONDO music series on Saturday, June 24, 2017 at 8:00pm. Teatro Sí brings to you this cultural opportunity as accomplished Brazilian jazz drummer Mauricio De Souza and his BOSSA BRASIL® musicians return to the area with their critically acknowledged sounds at the stage at the unique & cozy MONDO venue, located at 426 Springfield Avenue in downtown Summit, NJ.
Mauricio is joined for this performance by accomplished musicians; Anton Denner on alto sax, Jerry Weir on vibraphone, and Gary Mazzaroppi on bass as they celebrate the music on the recently released TRAJETORIAS CD recording plus other BOSSA BRASIL® favorites.
Mauricio de Souza has been performing and directing his own groups for the past 13 years. Originally from Brasilia, Brasil, de Souza has settled in northern New Jersey. A pupil of Joe Morello, Mauricio easily transitions between straight ahead jazz and Brazilian jazz.
