O Som Do Jazz recaptures the grace, energy and spirit of 1960s Brazilian Bossa Nova & samba-jazz. Imagine Brazilian musicians in love with American jazz playing in Rio de Janeiro night clubs circa 1965 - and you get an idea of what O Som Do Jazz is about.
The Tampa Bay-based group features Rio de Janeiro singer Andrea Moraes Manson and a crew of experienced musicians from Brasil, Columbia, Cuba and the U.S. O Som Do Jazz is active with performances at the Clearwater Jazz Holiday, Salvador Dali Museum, Mod Miami, Historic Asolo Theatre, Palladium Theater and in many other special events and festivals. Check out the band's music and videos!
