Brazilian Jazz Duo MINAS on Voices in Jazz

Tune in on Sunday, April 21st at 5 pm on our HD-2 channel when the popular Brazilian vocal duo MINAS stops by the station. Orlando Haddad and Patricia King will fill you in about their current project to complete a fabulous CD that they started work on in 2004 when they had teamed up with arranger and orchestrator, Bill Zaccagni to present “Symphony in Bossa,” a music program enhanced by Bill’s arrangements written specifically for MINAS - featuring original compositions and traditional Brazilian repertoire. "Symphony in Bossa" was halted due to Bill's sudden, tragic passing.

You'll hear a few completed tracks from the project this Sunday, as well as other recordings by MINAS. Don't miss it! April 21 at 5 pm on the WRTI jazz stream at wrti.org and HD-2.

Learn more about MINAS' campaign to finish this important project.

Upcoming performances by MINAS at their website.
