Homenagem Brasileira (“Homage to Brazil”) embraces the diversity of Brazil’s musical traditions rather than simply focusing on Brazilian standards that have already crossed over into the jazz world. Sandy Cressman’s newest project, Entre Amigos, includes collaborations with various Brazilian and Brazilophile musicians, and was recorded in the U.S., Brazil, and Europe. Beautifully conceived, arranged, and performed, Brazilian guitarist/composer Chico Pinheiro describes Entre Amigos as “a delicate and sensitive declaration of love for Brazil, for [jazz], but above all an ode to friendship and to all the bridges that only music can build.”
