  • Bio

    De Souza's new record, "Here. There..." (Pulsa Music) has recently been released. The album combines both his groups, Maurício de Souza Group and Bossa Brasil®. The musicians involved in the project are: Maurício de Souza (drums), Mike Stern (guitar), Andrew Beals (alto sax), Gregory Rivkin (trumpet), Carl Viggiani and Noah Haidu (piano), Jerry Weir (vibes), and Morrie Louden (bass). "Here. There..." is now available online at DigStation (www.digstation.com), CD Baby (www.cdbaby.com), and at live performances. 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. ............Create your own visitor map!............Bossa Brasil @ TheMMAC........http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc-tEs4KF6g....Members of Bossa Brasil® take solo rounds during a performace in StudioMMAC @ The Multi Media Arts Center, Bloomfield NJ on December 6th 2008 www.TheMMAC.net.. ..Bossa Brasil® in concert at TheMMAC.
