Davide Giovannini’s Minas Project [ Brazilian Jazz]

“High energy drum-led Brazilian jazz played here by a superb band featuring sax/flute virtuoso Paul Booth and guitarist Guillermo Hill” – Time Out
 

A tribute to the music of Minas Gerais, Brazil: the homeland of great artists such as Toninho Horta, Milton Nascimento, Beto Guedes, and Lo Borges. Davide Giovannini, a drummer and vocalist with performance and recording credits alongside renowned artists such as Steve Winwood, Paul McCartney, Bjork, Marcos Valle, Roy Ayers, and Snowboy, has a deep love for the music of Latin America, particularly the Minas region.
 

“Although contemporary throughout, there’s a timeless feel to the beautiful and mature songs. Davide is as accomplished a singer as he is on drums. Not to be missed!” – Blues & Soul Magazine
