About Me

About The Bossa Brothers Trio I've been playing piano for about 40 years and I've always been attracted to the different Afro-American forms of music starting with Rock n' Roll which lead me to the Blues which turned me on to Jazz which took me to New Orleans. From there into the Caribbean and South America. It's Music as joy, sadness, overcoming obstacles and a way to bring people together. In the late 90's I had the opportunity to work with a real sambista and learn Brazilian Music in a more authentic manner. Since then I just can't get enough (thanks and you still owe me $50). Anyway this band is a vehicle for my musical brothers and myself to share with you some of what we've learned so far and we hope you enjoy it. Thank you for your time.
