The April edition of the Art of Jazz should be a great one. We'll have the UIS Jazz Band on the first part, and The Jose Gobbo Trio featuring Brazilian saxophonist Raphael Ferreira.
"Raphael Ferreira is a Brazilian saxophonist, composer and arranger. Between projects as a soloist or co-leader, he has released nine albums. As an instrumentalist, Ferreira is part of the Latin Grammy Award-winning Hermeto Pascoal Big Band. In collaborations or as a sideman, he has worked with Airto Moreira, Flora Purim, Arismar do Espírito Santo, Filó Machado, Nelson Sargento, Arthur Verocai, Raul de Souza, Phil DeGreg, Letieres Leite and Rosa Passos, having toured South and North Americas, Europe and Morocco.
Ferreira earned Masters (2009) and Doctorate (2016) degrees in music at State University of Campinas/Brazil (Unicamp), and holds a Bachelor of Music degree by University of São Paulo/Brazil (USP). He attended the International Workshop in Jazz and Creative Music at Banff Centre (Canada) in 2008, and between 2019/2020 was a Visiting Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of North Texas/Division of Jazz Studies.
