San Francisco-based vocalist Sandy Cressman made a name for herself as a true devotee of Brazil’s greatest contemporary composers, interpreting songs by post-bossa masters like Milton Nascimento, Hermeto Pascoal, Gilberto Gil, and Filó Machado in Rio-accented Portuguese.
The friendships forged with Brazilian musicians during her musical travels course through her captivating new album Entre Amigos, which features a gorgeous array of new songs created with a far-flung cast of collaborators, including the celebrated Pernambuco frevo composer/bandleader Spok, rising Brazilian-American guitarist Ian Faquini, pianist/composer Jovino Santos Neto, and pianist Antonio Adolfo, a Brazilian jazz master who got his start at the center of Rio’s early 1960s bossa nova scene.
Cressman’s show will feature a stellar group of musicians who are also steeped in Brazilian jazz- Murray Low on piano and accordion, David Belove on bass, and Dillon Vado on drums. The show will also feature trombonist Jeff Cressman, who has played with many Latin Jazz greats, and toured for 16 years as trombonist in the Carlos Santana Band.
