Music was fabulous, with authentic Brazilian strains. Sandy's voice goes well with their melodies and rhythms. The entire ensemble worked very tightly together on the intricate arrangements. If you like Brazilian music, go hear them!Written on Jan 28 2008

Great show and the best seats...so close to where the action was.Written on Jan 28 2008
The second set was better than the first. Didn't know that you could go to both shows since the ticket said for the 8pm show. So I felt lucky that we had twice the music for one price and the 10pm show.

Description
The Homenagem Brasileira band features the warm vocals of Sandy Cressman with an all-star rhythm section featuring pianist Marcos Silva. Vocalist Cressman, who has recorded with such Latin Jazz fixtures as Ray Obiedo and Pete Escovedo, has a natural affinity for the music that is well complemented by keyboardist Silva, one of the Bay Area's world-class Brazilian musicians. Both Silva and Brazilian drummer Celso Alberti have toured with notable Brazilian artists Flora Purim and Airto. Homenagem Brasileira will also feature internationally reknowned saxophonist Harvey Wainapel, another Bay Area Brazilophile and bandleader in his own right as well as bassist David Belove.
Sandy Cressman
Once in a while an artist is born with an inexplicable affliation for a faraway culture. At least that's the case for Sandy Cressman. Born in New York, she swears her heart is Brazilian. Cressman began her career as a member of the vocal trio Pastiche. She began listening to Brazilian music in the 1970s and undertook the study of Portugese. In the early 1990s, she launched her solo career and began performing with Brazilian keyboardist Marcos Silva, a former arranger and musical director for Flora Purim and Airto. By the late 1990s they had expanded from a duo to quintet. They've been winning critical acclaim for their tributes to great performers and composers of Brazilian music and jazz ever since.
PLEASE NOTE: All shows at Pearl's require a two-drink minimum per person.
