MINAS // Brazilian Jazz
featuring Orlando Haddad (guitar, vocal), Patricia King Haddad (piano, vocal) and Skip Spratt (flute, sax) [$7]
Minas takes Brazilian and American roots to create a sound that is fresh and innovative, from ballads tinged with melancholic traits of Blues and Choro, to Folk coasting on the subtle coolness of a Bossa Nova pulse, to upbeat Sambas elaborated with instrumental jazz improvisation, scat singing and whimsical whistling. With recordings of original music and a collection of over 100 songs, Orlando and Patricia’s compositions have been compared to classics by Cole Porter and Antonio Carlos Jobim. Capturing the essence of great songwriting with memorable melodies, inventive harmonies, and poetic lyrics, the music of Minas is engaging and timeless. Past performances include: Lincoln Center in New York City, the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, Mellon Jazz Fest, Mann Music Center in Philly, Zanzibar Blue in Philly, World Café Live and numerous of other dates all over the United States, Europe and South America.
