As the song title suggests, smooth jazz saxophonist Kenny Polson goes the Brazilian route on \u201cAquarela Do Brasil<\/a>,\u201d a song written in 1939 and recorded by such luminaries as Elis Regina, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Django Reinhardt, Frank Sinatra and Dionne Warwick. Polson uses his full, rich tone to interpret the tune at medium tempo, unfolding the melody slowly and sensually. He\u2019s backed by a horn section, which contributes a bright energy. Sprinkles of Brazilian percussion add zest.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAquarela do Brasil<\/a>\u201d leads off Polson\u2019s new album, <\/span>Colors of Brazil<\/span><\/i><\/a>. He plays tenor and soprano on several of the country\u2019s favorite tunes, including \u201cLeva E Traz\u201d and Caetano Veloso\u2019s \u201cLuz Do Sol,\u201d as well as a samba version of Ellington\u2019s \u201cCaravan.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Based in the Pacific Northwest, Polson has lived and performed in more than 50 countries. He has toured Japan, Korea, Hawaii, Colombia, Brazil, France, and over a dozen Caribbean Islands. In 2016 and \u201817, he toured far and wide as part of Rick James\u2019s Original Stone City Band. The saxophonist has played live with Joe Williams, Gil Scott-Heron, David Sanborn, Kenny Burrell and others. Besides being a popular recording and touring artist, Polson is an accomplished composer and educator.<\/span><\/p>\n
