| JULY 14–16 ROSA PASSOS AND HER QUARTET Appearing @ Dizzy's Club Rosa Passos – vocals, guitar Chico Pinheiro – guitar Helio Alves – piano Sam Minaie – bass Rafael Barata – Drums Rosa Passos, the great Brazilian singer, has a pristine, delicate voice, and she puts it to spellbinding use… She sang a number of sumptuous ballads in such a way that their melodies seemed lighted from within. She also flirted with samba, adopting a translucently airy cadence. Her concert was a study in small gestures and subtle touches, and she made it feel both natural and special. — The New York Times Called the "female João Gilberto, " Rosa Passos is a living legend, a prolific and distinct vocalist and guitarist with a playful yet sophisticated style, marked by perfect pitch and spacious elegance. Her four sold-out shows in the Appel Room with Kenny Barron in 2016 were a season highlight, and it is a rare treat to experience Ms. Passos in the intimate atmosphere of Dizzy's Club. write your comments about the article :: © 2022 Jazz News :: home page |
