Longtime Jazzschool instructor, multi-instrumentalist, arranger, and composer Marcos Silva brings his breathtaking quartet to the Jazzschool for an evening of dazzling Brazilian jazz. Silva features compositions and arrangements from his most recent release, Brasil From Head to Toe, traversing energetic samba, bouncy baiano, funky grooves, and moody ballads while reflecting his experiences as a musician living in Brazil and the United States and traveling the world.

Silva’s sumptuous but exacting compositions have been recorded by artists including Flora Purim, Romero Lubambo, Bud Shank, and Herbie Mann. Born in Rio de Janeiro, Silva served as musical director for Flora Purim and Airto Moreira for 24 years. A Grammy nominee, he has toured with many celebrated artists, including Paquito D’Rivera, Claudio Roditi, Raul de Souza, Toninho Horta, Leny Andrade, Edu Lobo, Emilio Santiago, and Dori Caymmi.

Since relocating to the Bay Area in the 1980s, Silva has been an active force in the local jazz community, helping fuel the growth of Brazilian jazz in the region and supporting vocalists such as Claudio Gomez, Claudia Villela, and Sandy Cressman. He has been teaching at the Jazzschool for 28 years.

“Brasil From Head to Toe exhibits the fine musicianship from an artist who understands and feels Brazilian music very well.” — Música Brasileira
