| DAN MORETTI & BRAZILIA COMING THROUGH NEW ENGLAND WITH 3 DATES Fresh off their current chart topping nationally released album "Dan Moretti & Brazilia Celebrate the Music of Wayne Shorter", the band reimagines Shorter's iconic compositions with a vibrant Latin jazz twist. The all-star lineup features Grammy-winning bassist Oscar Stagnaro, master pianist Maxim Lubarsky, percussionist Ernesto Diaz, and dynamic drummer Steve Langone, alongside Moretti's expressive saxophone work. The result is a rhythmically rich, harmonically sophisticated tribute that pays homage while pushing boundaries. Early praise and reviews for the album has been enthusiastic: "Moretti and Brazilia breathe new life into Shorter's genius. This is one of the freshest and most joyful jazz tributes in recent years." JazzTimes "An exhilarating ride through the Shorter songbook, infused with Afro-Cuban grooves, lyrical improvisation, and masterful interplay." All About Jazz "Wayne would've loved this latin homage as it surprises, and it soars" DownBeat Magazine With a career spanning decades, Dan Moretti is known for his stylistic versatility and global collaborations, but Brazilia is where his passion for Latin jazz fully comes alive. Their performance at Jimmy's promises to be a night of soulful rhythms, daring solos, and deep musical respect.
