To those who know, drummer and composer Vanderlei Pereira is one of New York’s most treasured individualists. His music translates boundless joy, emotional complexity, and a staggering mastery of Brazilian rhythmic traditions and straight ahead vocabulary. Members of his critically acclaimed outfit perform certain tunes alongside Pereira fully blindfolded in order to "level the playing field" for Vanderlei, who is blind. More than a performance, each set invites listeners to experience new dimensions of sound.
