The series opens on Tuesday, March 29, with an appearance by brilliant jazz clarinetist Anat Cohen with Brazilian seven-string-guitar master Marcello Gonçalves. Ever charismatic, prolific, and inspired, Grammy-nominated Anat Cohen has won hearts and minds the world over. About a performance the New York Times wrote: “Ms. Cohen was a revelation . . . On up-tempo numbers, her improvisations weren’t just bebop fast; they had a clarity and deep intelligence that is really quite rare. She made it look effortless, even as she was playing the most technically difficult of all the reed instruments . . . she took my breath away.” Cohen and Gonçalves’s first duo album, Outra Coisa: The Music of Moacir Santos, was nominated for a Grammy as Best Latin Jazz Album in 2017. Last year they recorded their second collaboration, Reconvexo, turning to music from the Música Popular Brasileira (MPB) songbook by artists such as Caetano Veloso, Milton Nascimento, and Gilberto Gil.
