Based in Florida, O Som Do Jazz recaptures the spirit of mid-1960s Brazilian Bossa Nova and features Rio de Janeiro singer Andrea Moraes Manson. Andrea moved to the Tampa Bay area in 2000. Trained as an architect, she began performing, with the encouragement of her jazz musician husband David, in 2004. Not a "whispery" bossa nova singer, Andrea has a strong voice and a natural understanding of this music. In her debut recording (Infinita Bossa), Andrea has caught the attention of bossa nova lovers worldwide.
As a working band (not a project), O Som Do Jazz has had recent performances at Jazz Brasil, the Historic Asolo Theatre, Brasil Arts Fest, Lights On Tampa, First Night and the Salvador Dali Museum.
Our new release "Infinita Bossa" is available at these sites:
