There is more to Brazilian jazz than samba and bossa. There is also a myriad of other styles, like toada, ijexá, frevo, quadrilha, partido alto, among others, which are not well represented in Brazilian jazz. Adolfo explains, “I started out by experimenting with different Cole Porter tunes on the piano, trying out different styles of Brazilian music. It took a while to bring them into my musical world and ideas.”
Although Cole Porter’s music has been performed and recorded by hundreds of musicians over the years, Adolfo’s gorgeous re-harmonizations and the splendid musicianship by the entire band make Love Cole Porter a stunning addition to both the Cole Porter oeuvre and Adolfo’s extensive discography.
