| Jason Yeager NEW SINGLE Apesar de Voce Blurb: Jason Yeager's inventive arrangement of this classic Chico Buarque samba, sung by the marvelous Mirella Costa, brings home the feeling that in spite of our troubled times, community, love, and human dignity will prevail. The recording features Grammy-winner drummer Mark Walker and virtuoso electric bassist Fernando Huergo. Jason Yeager Originally from Boston and now based in New York City, award-winning pianist, composer, and educator Jason Yeager creates music that is deeply expressive and multi-faceted, defying convention while reveling in the traditions of jazz, blues, 20th century classical music, and Latin American folk songs.
