About Sounds of Brazil
Sounds of Brazil is presented at Jazz at Lincoln Center in a live New York setting that treats Brazilian jazz as part of the city’s broader jazz story. The program brings bandolim player Hamilton de Holanda into dialogue with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra under Wynton Marsalis, tracing lines between choro, samba, and big-band arranging. New York has long been a U.S. crossroads for Brazilian music since the bossa nova era, and this performance extends that lineage.
