Dan Costa

Notes About the Sunday Jazz Brunch Radio Show

Tune in: Sunday October 4, 2020 8am - 12pm EDT 90.5 FM in Central Mass USA. Live Stream Here. Missed the show? Replay from Archives.
 
A few weeks ago pianist Dan Costa sent me his latest CD Live in California, and I’m glad he did. Right away, while listening to his version of O Barquinho - the most famous song written by Roberto Menescal - I knew that Costa has a unique concept. Most versions of the song sound pretty much the same to me, always great since the song is so good, but here Costa just goes slightly somewhere that nobody else typically goes.
 
So after thoroughly enjoying Live in California, I beseeched Dan for his other releases, and you’ll hear samples from all three of them in this and following editions of the Sunday Jazz Brunch.
 

Dan’s debut came in 2016, with Suite Três Rios, recorded in Rio De Janeiro. The CD features top-flight musicians, such as Ricardo Silveira. And in 2018 while in Italy he recorded Skyness, with such talent as Romero Lubambo and none other than Roberto Menescal himself. Born into an Italian and Portuguese family, Costa must have really enjoyed his subsequent tour, around the world really. Just this year he recorded with the great Ivan Lins.

We continue with new material from some really great artists: Antonio Adolfo, Billy Childs, Eddie Daniels, Kandace Springs, Gregory Porter, Lori Bell and Ron Satterfield, Graciliano Zambonin, Al Daniels, Miguel de Leon, and a slew of other tremendous jazz artists. I don’t know if you can tell, but I’m very excited by the quality of the material I’m getting in.

 Thanks so much for tuning and, and I hope you are safe and in good health.

The Sunday Jazz Brunch Presents Gabriel Espinosa: From Yucatán to Tarrytown Air Date: 7/7/2024 on 90.5 WICN 8am-12pm ET I'm impressed with the lineup of artists appearing at Mark Morganelli's Jazz Forum in Tarrytown, New York. Recently Gabriel Espinosa performed with his superb band. In the photo above, we see Mr. Espinosa feeling the bass, with drummer Graciliano Zambonin reacting to the groove of the moment. Misha Tsiganov Also featured in the group was the very talented Misha Tsiganov on piano, as well as Aviana Gedler vocals and violin, and Alexandra Ridout trumpet and flugelhorn. Aviana Gedler Alexandra Ridout Not only was the music simply great to listen and groove to, but Mr. Espinosa's talk about the songs made it very interesting. There was music from Brazil, as well as music from Mr. Espinosa's home, Yucatán Mexico. In addition, we heard a Cuban Bolero, a Spanish folk tune, and even a Latin version of the Carpenters' Close to You . There is nothing like im...

The Sunday Jazz Brunch Presents Musician's Corner: Tania Grubbs Air Date: 12/22/2024 on 90.5 WICN 8am-12pm ET LISTEN TO THE SEGMENT HERE   Vocalist Tania Grubbs has released her second album, The Sound of Love . When I looked at the song list, I was reassured and impressed upon finding Duke Ellington's Sound of Love . Her take on this song is masterful. During her Musician's Corner interview, she will talk about two songs on the new CD, Tadd Dameron's If You Could See Me Now , and an original composition entitled The Sculptor's Hands .  What I noticed about Mrs Grubbs is that she finds new ways to express standards from the Great American Songbook. I found her version of Something to Live For to be superb, as well as Slow Hot Wind .  ................................................................................................................................................. Tune in at 9:20 am ET  to hear this edition of Musician's Corner.  ..................
