Jazz Samba: Jazz Musician in New York

About Jazz Samba

Jazz Samba is a New York City–presented jazz project heard at Dizzy’s Club, where Brazilian repertoire and small-group interaction are central. Recent performances under the Jazz Samba billing have brought together drummer Duduka Da Fonseca with vocalist Maucha Adnet and pianist Hélio Alves, musicians closely associated with modern Brazilian jazz and bossa nova lineages. The set list often draws on songbook standards alongside originals, framed by ensemble balance and rhythmic detail. The approach favors conversation over display, leaving space for open-ended improvisation.
