Marcos Silva Quartet at Piedmont Piano Company

About

For the past three decades, Rio-born multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger, and educator Marcos Silva has poured his energy into spreading the gospel of Brazilian music, playing an inordinate role in the San Francisco Bay Area’s emergence as a verdant outpost of Brazilian jazz. In 2019, he released his first new album in 30 years, Brasil From Head to Toe, featuring his own compositions. He’ll be joined by a couple of the musicians on the album, Mauricio Zottarelli (drums) and Gary Meek (sax & flute), as well as Richard Lindsey (bass).
