Samuel Martinelli Cd Release With Claudio Roditi at Trumpets Jazz Club & Restaurant

About

"Crossing Paths," a newly-released album lead by Brazilian drummer Samuel Martinelli, updates and continues the tradition of this beautiful relationship between Brazilian music and jazz. The CD features six original compositions by Martinelli that successfully mix influences of both genres. It also includes two standards by two giants of American jazz: a Sonny Rollins song ("St. Thomas") and a blues standard by Dizzy Gillespie ("Birks Works"). The presence of these compositions is a "tip of the hat" in tribute to these masters.
