7:30 pm Thu., $32.50-$37.50, MIM, mim.org, 480-478-6000. Brazilian-American Clarice Assad is a GRAMMY-nominated composer, pianist, and vocalist of musical depth and ability. Described by the San Francisco Chronicle as “a serious triple threat,” Assad is equally comfortable as a performer and band leader. As a performer, Assad has received acclaim for her performances of both original compositions and her own arrangements of popular Brazilian songs, world music, and jazz standards. Hailed by the Los Angeles Times as “a dazzling soloist,” Assad sings in Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, and English, but thrives in exploring the voice as an instrument, creating a vast array of innovative textures and incorporating an exciting vocabulary of extended techniques into her music.
