Hakkımızda Mauricio de Souza Quartet / Bossa Brasil®
Maurício de Souza Quartet performs a variety of jazz standards from Miles to Metheny. The group concentrates on performing the most refined tunes from each of the more modern jazz eras. The challenging arrangements include tunes in 3/4, 5/4, and 7/4 time as well as modal tunes. Maurício's other group, Bossa Brasil®, performs the most sophisticated Brazilian music. The repertoire includes compositions from Brazil’s most outstanding artists such as Tom Jobim, Egberto Gismonti, Roberto Menescal, Milton Nascimento, Victor Assis Brasil, and Pixinguinha. Some of the even more exotic rhythms explored by the trio include the “Baião” and the "Chorinho." Esteemed Brazilian performers Hélio Alves (piano) and Nilson Matta (bass) have contributed highly to the authentic sound of the group.
