The quartet also pays tribute to the legendary American jazz bassist and composer Charles Mingus, whose groundbreaking music and artistic vision have deeply influenced generations of musicians.Nilson Matta Bassist and ComposerMulti–Grammy nominee and virtuoso bassist Nilson Matta stands as a defining force in the evolution and global embrace of Brazilian jazz, particularly within the United States. Since arriving in New York in 1985, he quickly became an integral presence on the international jazz scene, performing and recording alongside luminaries such as Joe Henderson, Kenny Barron, Paquito D’Rivera, Randy Brecker, Herbie Mann, and Lee Konitz.These collaborations, combined with his rich artistic foundation in Brazil—where he worked with icons such as João Gilberto, Hermeto Pascoal, and Chico Buarque—have shaped a distinctive musical voice. Matta’s refined sensibility, rhythmic authority, and lyrical phrasing have made him one of the most sought-after bassists in both Brazilian music and contemporary jazz.It was therefore only natural that Yo-Yo Ma selected Matta for his acclaimed Brazilian project. Their collaborations on the Grammy-winning recordings Obrigado Brazil and Brazil – Live in Concert led to an extensive two-year world tour, bringing their music to audiences across continents.THE VENUE @ LECThe performance space at The Venue @ LEC is built for audience enjoyment in a way that’s immediately noticeable the moment you walk in.
