Musician

Cliff Korman

Born:

Born and trained in New York, Cliff Kormanʼs relationship with Brazilian music began in 1981 at the Creative Music Studio’s World Music Institute in Woodstock, where he met the legendary Brazilian clarinetist Paulo Moura. From their friendship and musical partnership a series of concerts and recordings was born: Mood Ingênuo: The Dream of Pixinguinha and Duke Ellington (Jazzheads); Rhapsody in Bossa, on the music of Gershwin and Jobim; Gafieira Jazz, a celebration of the sounds of Brazilian ballroom, and the Gnattali/Monk Project, exploring two of the most influential American pianists of the century.
While still in NY, he produced and arranged a number of Brazilian Jazz CDs for the Chesky label, including Chuck Mangione’s The Feeling’s Back and Entre Amigos, featuring vocalist Rosa Passos and bassist Ron Carter. His recording Migrations (Planet Arts, 2004) illustrates the mark Brazilian music and culture have made on his compositions and improvisational language.

His opening track , “Cheio de Malicia" could almost be taken for some sort of stride-bossa--the same feel pops up on “Canhoto" too--with allusions to Kenny Barron, Vince Guaraldi, McCoy Tyner even. Paired with bassist Harvie ...
