   About Doug de Vries
Doug de Vries is one of Australia’s best, most experienced and versatile guitarists and composers, excelling in many musical genres from jazz to choro, samba and bossa nova; styles that form the basis of Brazilian popular music, and is considered Australia’s leading exponent of Brazilian guitar repertoire. He is particularly noted for his sophisticated accompaniments, deep knowledge and daring improvisations in jazz and other settings, be it solo guitar or in ensembles.
He has toured and recorded with major artists including: Diana Clark, Don Burrows, Kate Ceberano, Paul Grabowsky, Vince Jones and Judy Jacques from Australia, Barbara Morrison and Andy Bey from the United States and Yamandu Costa, Mauricio Carrilho, Proveta and Lula Galvao from Brazil.
In 2004 Doug was acknowledged for his contribution to Australian music, receiving a two-year fellowship to continue his long-standing devotion to the study and performance practice of South American music, embarking on another research and recording venture to Brazil. There he collaborated with the Choro legend, Mauricio Carrilho recording a new album of original works ‘Jacaranda’ released by Acari Records in 2007, making him one of the select few outsiders to be acknowledged by his peers in Brazil signifying that Australia has produced a guitarist of international stature.

Doug de Vries é Australiano e é o mais famoso músico compositor de samba, choro, jazz e bossa nova em seu país. A experiência e versatilidade que Doug trás ao palco o faz um dos melhores violonistas do gênero. Tanto em performance solo quanto na roda de choro, Doug apresenta ousadia, conhecimento e improvisos, o que o faz de suas apresentações um espetáculo rico e único.
Doug apresentou-se com os mais renomados músicos de diversos gêneros, o que inclui: Andy Bey, Diana Clark, Kate Ceberano, Paul Grabowsky, Vince Jones e Barbara Morrison, e no Brasil: Yamandú Costa, Mauricio Carrilho, Proveta e Lula Galvão.
Em 2004, devido a sua contribuição à riqueza e diversidade cultural Australiana, Doug foi premiado pelo governo Australiano com uma bolsa para aprimorar sua devoção à música Brasileira. Foi nesta ocasião que Doug gravou o álbum “Jacarandá” com Mauricio Carrilho. O álbum foi lançado em 2007 pela gravadora Acari Records.
