Pianist, composer, and Brazilian jazz master Antonio Adolfo has gained international attention for his gorgeous reharmonization of both jazz standards and Brazilian songs. He has reimagined Milton Nascimento, Jobim, bossa nova and samba, and created soulful, Brazilian-tinged versions of music from Wayne Shorter and Cole Porter, among countless others.
Carnaval is a festival that happens each year just before Lent, with music that's lively and upbeat, combining elements of Brazilian music, African rhythms and European influences.
With his new release Antonio shows once again that he is a master at blending the worlds of Brazilian music and jazz together. He and his group will take you to Carnaval each morning at 8:20 AM with a track from this engaging new effort.
