June's
theme is Brazilian Jazzmasters and this
weekend well catch up with 'Leo From Rio' - our
long-time friend saxophonist Leo
Gandelman (left)! Hes been called Brazils
David Sanborn and rightfully so. Born and raised
in Rio de Janeiro, Leo Gandelman headed north to Bostons
Berklee Collge of Music to hone his sax skills before
returning home to become one of Brazils 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 Brazils most-awarded instrumental
musician. Youll hear why on this special salute
when we cue up some of his
best songs.
Thats
just the beginning. Our playlist includes the summers
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!
