Norwood Village Green featuring Brazilian and American Jazz Sunday, July 25

Posted

NORWOOD - The Norwood Village Green Concert Series will present Maggie Gould and Nanni Assis perform Brazilian and American Jazz on Sunday, July 25 at 7 p.m. There is no set charge but there is a “pass the bucket.”

Gould is a photojournalist and musician from beautiful New Zealand. Her musical genre combines a range of Jazz, Latin, Brazilian Jazz and Soul music, bringing international audiences a unique sound.

Nanni Assis - Anybody who sees Nanni performing immediately feels that music for him is more than just a career. It's how he translates rhythms and notes into pure essence – often snatching audiences away - and other times energizing them enough so they can stand up and dance.

His ability to make any kind of music sound smooth makes Nanni a notable and gifted artist. Most recently he performed and recorded with Grammy Award winning Janis Siegel of Manhattan Transfer on her Requinte Trio “Honey and Air “ recording. The trio consists of Nanni, percussion, Janis, vocals, and John Di Martino, piano/arranger. He has also recorded with Paul Simon.

The friends include Paul Meyers – guitar, Leonard Lucas – bass, and Pete Levin, Keyboards. Special note: Levin was part of the Gil Evans Orchestra for 15 years and has recorded an performed with a wide variety of musicians including the New York Philharmonic, Paul Simon, Robbie Roberson, Thad Jones/Mel Lewis, and a host of others.
