   About Jazztopia

Release - English version

Jazztopia is a mythical island of passion, swing and joie de vivre, South Atlantic, close to the Guanabara Bay, somewhere over the rainbow... Do you remember Thomas Morus’ 1516 book inspired by the tales of discoveries along the Brazilian coastline by Amerigo Vespucci?

Jazztopia is also a combo which originated in 2006 as the house band of "Jazz at the Maze" - Rio's most unusual jazz night, hosted by British-Indian artist, film-maker, polymath and singer Bob Nadkarni at The Maze Inn. By the way, we would love to welcome you at our next jam session! - www.jazzrio.com -

Lennart Leslie is an architect and painter from Germany. Fallen in love with the sound of the Hammond Organ since his early days, notably Jon Lord, Barbara Dennerlein and Jimmy Smith, he studied at the Jazzschule Berlin with Ralf Ruh before succumbing to the charms of Rio de Janeiro. He would like to thank Michael Falkenstein, from Hammond Germany, for bringing an original Hammond Organ to Brazil. Sometimes he picks up his Soprano Saxophone to escape for a moment from the bulkiness of his Leslie cabinets...

Wolf - backwoodsman and architect from Germany. Enchanted by the Jazz Age, Swing and the golden days of the Big Band Era, he plunged into the world of North and South American roots music, studying Tenor Saxophone with Christoph Reiserer in Munich and Fernando Trocado in Rio, until resurfacing in the quiet waters of the Guanabara. Played Samba and Bossa Nova with Beto Monteiro and Samba em Berlim. Also a self-taught guitar player – well, nothin’ what a noisy amp wouldn’t cover up!

Bruno Santos - www.myspace.com/brunosantosmusic

Vinícius is Carioca, designer, inventor and maker of fine percussion instruments when he is not paragliding over the green mountains of Rio or preparing spicy Indian dishes.

Release – versão em português

Jazztopia é uma ilha mítica de paixão, swing e joie de vivre, Atlântico do Sul, perto da Baía de Guanabara, somewhere over the rainbow... Lembra de Thomas Morus' 1516 livro inspirado pelos contos das descobertas ao longo do litoral brasileiro por Amerigo Vespucci?

Jazztopia ainda é um conjunto que originou em 2006 como a house band de "Jazz at the Maze" - a noite de jazz mais insólita do Rio, hospedado pelo artista britânico-índiano, realizador de filmes, polímata e cantor Bob Nadkarni no The Maze Inn. A propósito, nós adoraríamos receber vocês em nossa próxima jam session! - www.jazzrio.com -

Lennart Leslie é arquiteto e pintor da Alemanha. Apaixonado pelo som do Hammond Organ desde joven, notavelmente por Jon Lord, Barbara Dennerlein e Jimmy Smith, ele estudou no Jazzschule Berlin com Ralf Ruh antes de sucumbir aos encantos do Rio de Janeiro. Gostaria de agradecer Michael Falkenstein, de Hammond Germany, para trazer um órgão original de Hammond ao Brasil. Às vezes ele pega seu Saxofone Soprano para escapar durante um momento do peso e volume dos seus gabinetes Leslie...

Wolf – bicho do mato e arquiteto da Alemanha. Encantado pelo Jazz Age, Swing e os dias dourados da Big Band Era, ele mergulhou no mundo da música de raiz Norte e Sul-Americana, estudando Saxofone Tenor com Christoph Reiserer em Munique e Fernando Trocado no Rio, até que reapareceu nas águas calmas da Guanabara. Tocou Samba e Bossa Nova com Beto Monteiro e Samba em Berlim. Também um guitarrista autodidata – bem, nada que um amplificador ruidoso não encobriria!

Bruno Santos - www.myspace.com/brunosantosmusic

Vinícius é Carioca, designer, inventor e criador de instrumentos finos de percussão quando ele não esta voando de parapente sobre as montanhas verdes de Rio ou preparando pratos quentes da Índia.

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)

Promotional Video(My Girl From The South Sea Isles)

"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
