“Stars of Brazil” at Healdsburg Jazz Festival
This year’s Healdsburg Jazz Festival is going all out on the Brazilian front.
On Sunday afternoon, 31 May 2009, three top acts will appear on the green at Healdsburg Recreation Park in the same program—a tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim:
- Guitarist Toninho Horta, accompanied by Airto Moreira (percussion), Santi Debriano (bass), and Billy Hart (drums).
- Trio da Paz, consisting of Romero Lubambo (guitar), Nilson Matta (bass), and Duduka da Fonseca (drums).
- Vocalist Leny Andrade, with the Stephanie Ozer Ensemble featuring Stephanie Ozer (piano), Mary Fettig (flute/saxes), Scott Thompson (bass), and Celso Alberti (drums).
The pronunciation-challenged Chuy Varela will MC. Luckily, there’s no one on the program by the name of João, but be prepared for a mention of Milton “Nacimiento” in connection with Toninho.
Doors open at noon.
Tickets: general $25; students & seniors (65+) $15
