MARILYNN MAIR - CD MADRUGADA

Popis - MADRUGADA:
In the process of transformation there comes a moment of fundamental change, when perspective alters and a new day begins. Reaching back while moving forward, renowned mandolinist Marilynn Mair weaves the disparate threads of her extraordinary musical career— from Beethoven to Gershwin, Pixinguinha to Piazzolla, Scott Joplin to Jacob do Bandolim—into an original tapestry of rare and heartfelt beauty. With Brazilian pianist, Luiz Simas, guitarists Robert N. Martel, Paul Dressel, and the Sao-Paulo-based Choro das 3, Marilynn explores the link between Brazilian choro and classical music, in her original compositions and in the works of Brazilian composers, classical and popular.

She has released over a dozen highly acclaimed solo and ensemble CDs, and appeared on numerous compilations.
