Dmitry Matheny, Holly Pyle and their all-star band join forces for a musical journey to Brazil and a fresh spin on jazz samba, bossa nova and beyond! Celebrated for her “soulfully graceful, liquid-like voice” (Phoenix New Times), the classically trained Los Angeles vocalist Holly Pyle tours and performs with leading jazz and Americana groups, and appears regularly as a solo a-cappella act using electronic looping to build masterful sonic creations. Flugelhornist Dmitri Matheny has been lauded as “one of the most emotionally expressive improvisers of his generation” (International Review of Music). An honors graduate of Berklee College of Music, Dmitri Matheny vaulted onto the jazz scene in the 1990s as the protégé of jazz legend Art Farmer. Since then he has garnered critical acclaim and a loyal international following, releasing eleven CDs and touring extensively throughout the United States, Europe and Asia. The San Francisco Chronicle calls Matheny “one of the jazz world’s most talented horn players.”
