Grammy-nominated Banda Mantiqueira, a 13-piece instrumental ensemble based in Sao Paulo, puts a unique spin on the big band tradition with a program of straight-ahead fare and wholly Brazilian performances.The group presents seven extended compositions that range from a joyful, energetic cover of Joã Bosco's samba hit Linha de Passe to an orchestral interpretation of Carinhoso, a venerable standard by the late composer Pixinguinha, regarded as Brazil's Duke Ellington, and a sonorous interpretation of Jobim's Insensatez.Banda Mantiqueira will be a revelation for many jazz fans, demonstrating that sophisticated big band arranging, unique soloing and tight ensemble work fits perfectly with a strong Brazilian rhythmic groove.
