Dani Gurgel - DDG19 Big Band

 

 

Listen to this week's show

This week's edition of Caminhos do jazz radio presents selections from Dani Gurgel and the DDG19 Big Band (2024). They were in Austin for SXSW in 2024 and she connected with us for an interview. Read all about the album here...

"Growing up in a cosmopolitan environment, she had access to such Brazilian jazz greats as the eminent Zimbo Trio, who founded the Centro Livre de Aprendizagem Músical (CLAM), where Dani entered as a young child and—in her early teens—became part of the faculty. She holds a Ph.D. in communication from the University of São Paulo, with a dissertation on música popular brasileira (MPB). In addition to her schedule as an active touring and recording artist, she runs a studio and production company, Da Pá Virada, which produces photography, music and audiovisual content for various artists, labels and networks..."

PS: The YouTube at the top of the page features Brazilian guitarist Gabriel Santiago, a former south Texas resident (now up north in Colorado) who will be familiar to fans of Brazilian music in San Antonio. The cut is from Gurgel's 2018 release, TUQTI  (2018).

And as a special treat for Caminhos do Jazz aficionados, click the YouTube below for a live-in-studio recording of "Veredas" from the big band album.
