Giants of Jazz Vol 5: Ivan Santos Trio

Ivan Santos is an inventive guitar player who gives each song he plays a particular touch - he never uses the same idea twice. This is what gives the foundation to his style along with the percussive yet calm nature of his down-to-earth voice. In a live concert his very creative band plays the repertoire from the CD's, and in addition other of Santos' compositions as well as cover versions of traditional Brazilian music. Entertainment and innovation are the main ingredients of his concerts.

Baião and Coco, rhythms of North East Brazil, are almost always part of the concert, but there is so much more to discover. Funk, R&B and oriental grooves are blended naturally and almost as a matter of course with Brazilian rhythms.

His trio is Ivan Santos (Rio de Janeiro) on Vocals & Guitar, Angela Frontera (Sao Paulo) on Percussion & Drum-Set & Marc Inti (Bolivia/ Germany) on Bass
