Maybe it\u2019s because saxophonist Kenney Polson has lived a life that countless musicians can only dream of.<\/p>\n
He has lived in Rio de Janeiro. In fact, Polson lived just off the beach in Ipanema for five years. He\u2019ll be the first to admit that some of his happiest times were spent there. And he met, performed, and recorded with many of Rio\u2019s best musicians.<\/p>\n
Polson\u2019s album, <\/span>Colors of Brazil<\/em><\/a> <\/strong>grew from that experience.<\/p>\n \u201cI recorded some of the selections for Colors of Brazil<\/em> while I was there. My goal was to capture the sound and energy of the rhythm and tempo of life according to Brazil. I wanted to share with those who\u2019ve always wanted to go to Brazil but haven\u2019t yet had the opportunity to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n Colors of Brazil<\/em> features familiar tunes from Brazil\u2019s superstar songwriters: Ary Barroso, Djavan, Jo\u00e3o Bosco, Caetano Veloso, Ivan Lins, Dori Caymmi, and Toninho Horta.<\/p>\n Tenor sax, Alto, Soprano, and Baritone Saxophones (even Clarinet and Bass Clarinet) all have their place in Polson\u2019s talented, tropical musical palette. Contemporary and authentic, Colors of Brazil<\/em> is a Brazilian jazz album that has earned its place with the best recordings of its kind.<\/p>\n Read Kenney Polson\u2019s story <\/span>here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Plan to join me for Brazil Back2Back this Friday when I\u2019ll play two in a row from Kenney Polson\u2019s <\/span>Colors of Brazil<\/em> <\/span>album on our live streaming station (01\/21).
