Rutgers Jazz Lab Band: “Jazz & The Music of Brazil”

The development of musical style in Brazil can be described as an example of cultural creolization in the New World. A complex intertwining of several ethnic traditions has produced a rich exchange of distinctive cultural practices, and the “blending” of these Western and non-Western influences has created a unique cultural sensibility as well as original idioms of musical expression. This concert by the Rutgers University Jazz Lab Big Band, directed by Anthony Branker, will feature the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim, Luiz Bonfá, Pat Metheny, Bill Cunliffe, and music from Duke Ellington’s “Latin American Suite.”
