Manoel Cruz: The Essence of Brazilian Jazz with a Global Accent

Manoel Cruz is a significant name in Brazilian instrumental music, recognized for his mastery as a bassist, composer, arranger, and producer. His journey is shaped by extensive experience as a sideman in various Brazilian music styles, which he

originally translates into instrumental compositions. The result is a sound that unites the refined technique of contemporary jazz with the richness of Brazilian regional rhythms – from baião to samba, maracatu to forró.

Throughout his career, Manoel has released albums that mark his artistic evolution: "Alcatéia" (2002), "Under My Soul" (2012), and the acclaimed "Brazilian News" (2019). The latter, praised by journalist and music critic Carlos Calado, brought a special flavor to his work with Latin jazz and featured Italian trumpeter Gabriel Rosati. "Brazilian News" not only gained over 15,000 listeners in 61 countries on Spotify but also had memorable launch shows at Blue Note SP and the Extrema MG Jazz and Blues Festival in 2019.
