About
First appearance in Denver outside of Dazzle and City Park Jazz, this is Denver's opportunity to hear great instrumental Brazilian jazz! Way beyond bossa nova, this group has mined the roots of modern Brazilian sound. Currently called "choro jazz" in Brazil, the music emerged simultaneous with New Orleans jazz, fourished and is now heard as samba & bossa. The Quintet, like their Brazilian counterparts, invokes just enough compelling "forró" and the listening/dance party is started.
Dexter Payne with Dave Willey, Bill Kopper, Victor Mestas, Raoul Rossiter - their CD "Pra Você" got 4 stars in Downbeat and is featured on KUVO. Who are these guys?...
