Award-winning pianist Antonio Adolfo is among the elite of Rio de Janeiro's jazz scene, where his talent was nurtured with the Bossa Nova movement of the 1960s. Soon, he was touring with legendary Brazilian singers, including Elis Regina and Milton Nascimento.Today, Adolfo is a master of Brazilian song. As a teacher - he's the Latin American Music coordinator for the IAJE (International Association For jazz Education) - and as a world-renowned performer and songwriter. Herb Alpert, Sergio Mendes, Stevie Wonder, Earl Klugh and Dionne Warwick - all have performed or recorded his compositions. Singer Carol Saboya is Adolfo's daughter, and with three solo CDs and several critically acclaimed performances in New York, Miami, and New Orleans - she's well on her way to making her own mark - as her father has done before her. Her debut CD “Dança Da Voz” won Brazil's coveted Sharp Premio award for “Best New Pop (MPB) Singer”. Recorded in Miami, “Antonio Adolfo and Carol Saboya Ao Vivo/Live” is a timeless jazz recording featuring songs by Antonio Carlos Jobim, George Gershwin, Dori Caymmi and Brazil's jazz pioneer, Pixinguinha.
