Brazilian Jazz
Guests: Oscar Castro-Neves & Ivan Lins. The early days and the current groove of jazz from Brazil are explored in this exciting half-hour. Guests include the legendary Oscar Castro-Neves, a contemporary of Tom Jobim, Luis Bonfa and Joao Gilberto, who was on the scene as a major player when the Bossa Nova was being created, and GRAMMY winner Ivan Lins, the keyboardist/composer whose songs have been recorded by artists ranging from Quincy Jones to Ella Fitzgerald and many more. Ivan Lins and Oscar Castro-Neves through their music show us why the music of Brazil offers something highly stimulating for the heart, body and soul.
