Ekard Artist in Residence

Rooted in the Brazilian music of his homeland where he is the most prolific and extraordinary musician of his generation, he glides with ease into the realms of jazz and classical music as his ideas call for them. He now debuts a new trio with bassist Edward Perez and percussionist Rogerio Boccato as well as new repertoire inspired by nature. Having lived for over 25 years in the Mata Atlântica (Atlantic Forest), the tropical rain forest that stretches along the Atlantic coast of Brazil, his environment will again shape his music both in new compositions and arrangements of works by Tom Jobim.
