Ben Sher - Samba for Tarsila (2023)

A new collection of Brazilian-jazz with a tinge of Latin and R=B influence! Originals and covers by Gilberto Gil, Jorge Ben as well as songs from the great American Songbook and even the Jackson Five! This release pays tribute to a plethora of different influences; on the more ‘pop’ side of Brazilian music, Sergio Mendes and Asimuth, as well as some of the great American jazz player/composers, Joe Henderson and Benny Golson who have always influenced my work.
