	y\, trombone & percussion NEW YORK VOICES: Peter Eldridge\, vocals Lau
	ren Kinhan\, vocals Darmon Meader\, vocals Kim Nazarian\, vocals  New 
	York Voices and Paquito D'Rivera join forces again for a one-night onl
	y special event\, titled MORE BRAZILIAN DREAMS in honor of their award
	 winning 2001 CD Brazilian Dreams! New York Voices is the Grammy® awar
	d-winning vocal ensemble renowned for their excellence in jazz and the
	 art of group singing. Like the great groups that have come before\, s
	uch as Lambert\, Hendricks and Ross\, Singers Unlimited\, Manhattan Tr
	ansfer and Take 6\, they have learned from the best and taken the art 
	form to new levels. Their interests are rooted in jazz\, but often Bra
	zilian\, R & B\, classical\, and pop influences are included with equa
	l creativity and authenticity. NYV has traveled the globe with their e
	legant music\, befriending people everywhere they go. Born on the isla
	nd of Cuba\, Paquito D'Rivera began his career as a child prodigy. A r
	estless musical genius during his teen years\, Mr. D'Rivera created va
	rious original and ground-breaking musical ensembles. As a founding me
	mber of the Orquesta Cubana de Musica Moderna\, he directed that group
	 for two years\, while at the same time playing both the clarinet and 
	saxophone with the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra. He eventually we
	nt on to premier several works by notable Cuban composers with the sam
	e orchestra. Additionally\, he was a founding member and co-director o
	f the innovative musical ensemble Irakere. With its explosive mixture 
	of jazz\, rock\, classical and traditional Cuban music never before he
	ard\, Irakere toured extensively throughout America and Europe\, won s
	everal Grammy nominations (1979\, 1980) and a Grammy (1979). The event
	 MORE BRAZILIAN DREAMS is based off a CD titled BRAZILIAN DREAMS\, rec
	orded live at Manchester Craftsmen's Guild (MCG) over four nights in A
	pril 2001\, which captures the passion and soulfulness of this unique 
	performance and recording session. Members of the New York Voices as w
	ell as Marty and Jay Ashby attended Ithaca College where they were exp
	osed to the musicianship of Paquito and Claudio Roditi\, Brazilian jaz
	z trumpeter\, in 1983 at the Ithaca Jazz Festival. Brazilian Dreams in
	cludes Jobim classics such as "Corcovado" and "Desafinado" with lesser
	-known masterpieces\, "Modinha\," "Meu Amigo" and "Retrato Em Branco E
	 Prêto" (sung in Portugese) that demonstrate the depth of the composer
	. Two of Luiz Bonfa's most well known works "Manha De Carnival"-from t
	he acclaimed film "Black Orpheus"-and "Gentle Rain" are combined in a 
	unique instrumental then vocal medley. The compositions of Joao Donato
	 are not well known in the United States but the instrumental "A Ra" p
	rovides insight into his style. Paquito's instrumental\, "One for Tom\
	," was written for Antonio Carlos Jobim and Claudio's\, "Red On Red\,"
	 has become a "standard" in the Brazilian Jazz repertoire. Finally\, B
	razilian Dreams closes with "Snow Samba"-a composition penned by Paqui
	to and Claudio on a snowy day in Chicago when they were dreaming of th
	e sun and beach of Brazil.
