Award-winning pianist Antonio Adolfo is among the elite of Rio de Janeiro’s jazz scene, where his talent was nurtured with the Bossa Nova movement of the 1960s. Soon, he was touring with legendary Brazilian singers, including Elis Regina and Milton Nascimento.
Today, Adolfo is a master of Brazilian song. As a teacher – he’s the Latin American Music coordinator for the IAJE (International Association For jazz Education) - and as a world-renowned performer and songwriter. Herb Alpert, Sergio Mendes, Stevie Wonder, Earl Klugh and Dionne Warwick – all have performed or recorded his compositions.
Singer Carol Saboya is Adolfo’s daughter, and with three solo CDs and several critically acclaimed performances in New York, Miami, and New Orleans – she’s well on her way to making her own mark – as her father has done before her. Her debut CD ‘Dança Da Voz’ won Brazil’s coveted Sharp Premio award for ‘Best New Pop (MPB) Singer’.
Recorded in Miami, ‘Antonio Adolfo and Carol Saboya Ao Vivo/Live’ is a timeless jazz recording featuring songs by Antonio Carlos Jobim, George Gershwin, Dori Caymmi and Brazil’s jazz pioneer, Pixinguinha.

Hey Antonio. How are thing going for you? I just was thinking about Brazilian music right now and came to your site. I would love to start lessons soon again and I'll be paying for them. It would be very important for me to get some more jazz lessons and I believe that your the best in town to give them so I will let you know when I get some money together to do so. Take care.
Oi Antônio e Carol, tudo bem? Obrigado por me aceitar.

Quando você tiver um tempo, passe na minha página para conhecer minhas canções...um grande abraço e boa sorte em tudo!
Grande Maestro e grande Carol, somos fãs da música abençoada de ambos, vocês são demais. No dia 16 de Julho de 2009,
tivemos a honra de apresentar para o Moraes Moreira, a música "Um
bilhete pra Moraes", nossa homenagem a este grande artista e a esta
grande alma, que amamos profundamente. Aqui está o vídeo que registrou
aquele momento mágico para nós:
Sorrir e cantar,o desafio do verbo viver porque viver é sem grilos de amanhecer. Ouço o batuque superior do Cantinho do Vovô. Com as bênçãos de Tupã,imensidão de seu amor total. Toque a vida numa boa,coisa inteira,alto falante,aurora Moraes Moreira, Saravá! Com malemolência,respirar o divino poder do som. Tudo sempre muito alto astral,lindo total. Na cabeleira de estrelas do Universo,além Ladeira da praça,espelho da lua,ensolarada mulata linda.
Oi querido Antonio e Carol! Hoje vou tocar e cantar algumas músicas que a Nara Leão interpretava na Record News as 22 h no programa do Duran! Se quiserem relembrar bons momentos da nossa música e da querida musa da Bossa Nova Nara Leão é só conferir! Um abraço e tudo de bom!

Halo Mestre Adolfo, muito obrigado por me adicionar e parabéns pelo seu belo trabalho e a sua importante opera de divulgaçao da cultura musical brasileira! Abraço da Italia, Davide
Hey Antonio. Nice job on Saturday with the concert. I really did enjoy it alot. Now I really see the Brazilian style of jazz at work with you and your quartet. Your daughter was amazing as well. Gary Campbell too.
Did you, by any chance, get to listen to my CD yet? I want critique from a professional pianist about it.
