Maucha Adnet & Helio Alves Duo
The soulful and radiant Brazilian jazz singer Maucha Adnet and her longtime piano duo partner, pianist and composer Helio Alves take the stage this Sunday.
Rio-native Maucha Adnet’s extraordinary musicianship and musical depth are evoked in her interaction with every musician she plays with, especially Helio Alves. Adnet makes live audiences listen, smile, weep, and laugh with the joy of the sound. “Adnet’s voice is an emotionally powerful instrument capable of firmness or fragility, depending on the situation” (All About Jazz).
Pianist Helio Alves blends traditional Brazilian with Jazz sounds fluidly and with grace, collaborating with some of the foremost artists in the New York Metropolitan area. He is a top musician on the scene at many New York Jazz clubs, and has received uninterrupted praise throughout his career for his many musical collaborations. He plays Brazilian music with an excitement that draws the crowd into his playing.
Adnet and Alves recently released their debut CD, Milagre, in the musically demanding vocals and piano duo format. It is the culmination of two great artists working together in a variety of musical contexts over the course of two productive decades,
