Our focus for our Brazil-Tour 2011 to Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais wasn't only our duo-program. For the Savassi Jazz Festival we also prepared a number of arrangements for unusual trio and quartet combinations.
("Luiza" for 2 trb. + git., arr.: Joao Luiz, "Caxanga" for 3 trb. + git., arr.: Joao Luiz, "Stolen Moments" for 3 trb. + git., arr.: Wolf Meyer-Johanning)
From the festival's press releases, Brazilian TV got word of our special project. Shortly thereafter we were sitting in front of their cameras. Shawn and I are very fond of the Portuguese language, but could only understand a few questions presented in English. Luckily at the end of the show we were able to speak with our instruments and present one of our new arrangements. Enjoy!
(please, excuse the poor sound quality, due to the signal conversion from NTSC 60Hz to PAL 50Hz)
very nice ...sucess...to new project..
