June's
theme is ‘Brazilian Jazzmasters’ and this
weekend we’ll catch up with 'Leo From Rio' - our
long-time friend saxophonist Leo
Gandelman (left)! He’s been called ‘Brazil’s
David Sanborn’ and rightfully so. Born and raised
in Rio de Janeiro, Leo Gandelman headed north to Boston’s
Berklee Collge of Music to hone his sax skills before
returning home to become one of Brazil’s most sought-after
sidemen. He funded his own self-titled debut CD in 1987
and has gone on to record more than a dozen albums –
which have earned him an international following and
unequalled praise as Brazil’s most-awarded instrumental
musician. You’ll hear why on this special salute
when we cue up some of his
best songs.
That’s
just the beginning. Our playlist includes the summer’s
hottest Brazilian hits: Natalie
Cole with Sergio Mendes, Kenia checks in with another
brilliant tune from her 'Simply’
album, plus a revolutionary re-mix from the exciting
‘Bossa
Now! Volume 6: After Dark: Bossa Grooves’ CD
and
new music from Brazilian guitar star Torcuato
Mariano, the German/Brazilian group Slowdown
and a sneak peek at one of the most anticipated debut
CDs of the Summer - from São Paulo's Patricia
Talem!
