**Price includes brunch, music and a drink.**
The brazilian-born and New York City-based drummer and composer Mauricio Zottarelli has been on the forefront of the Jazz, Latin and Brazilian music circles for many years. Called a "superb drummer" by JazzTimes Magazine, Zottarelli has become one of the most sought after drummers on the scene since his move to NYC in 2006. A Berklee College of Music graduate, Mauricio is a critically acclaimed and award-winning drummer and artist. He is credited in more than 80 albums so far in his career, and has worked with dozens of the most important and notable artists of today, crossing over many musical styles. Some of them are: Hiromi, Eliane Elias, Prasanna, Lee Ritenour, Dave Grusin, Esperanza Spalding, Keiko Matsui, Richard Bona, Paquito D'Rivera, Richard Galliano, Chuck Loeb, Chico Pinheiro, Cláudio Roditi, Joe Locke, Geoffrey Keezer, Mike Pope, Eldar, Ivan Lins, Carmen Souza, Rosa Passos, Dom Salvador, Jovino Santos Neto, Nilson Matta, Toninho Horta, Oriente Lopez, Filó Machado, Gustavo Assis Brasil, Hendrik Meurkens, and many others. Mauricio co-leads the Dig Trio, which had its critically acclaimed first album out in 2003. In 2009 Zottarelli released 7 Lives, his first album as a leader, and in 2011 came "MOZIK", a collaboration project with pianist Gilson Schachnik. Both 7 Lives and Mozik have been receiving high praises from critics and fans worldwide. Mauricio has been consistently featured on the prestigious "Jazz Station" website as one of the top 10 drummers of the year since 2011, and in 2012 he won the most important music award in Brazil, the "Brazilian Music Awards", with legendary pianist Dom Salvador. In 2014 Mauricio released a collaboration with bassist Amanda Ruzza, "Glasses, No Glasses" featuring Leo Genovese. In November 2017 his highly anticipated new recording as a leader, "Upside Down Looking Up" will be released. Mauricio is equally active as a teacher and educator, and has performed clinics and workshops in Brazil, USA and Europe. He is also a columnist for Modern Drummer Magazine in Brazil....
