Cheryl Ferris Celebrates the Music of Antonio Carlos Jobim

Antônio Carlos Jobim, a dynamic force behind the creation of the bossa nova style, was a Brazilian composer who is often called the “Father of Bossa Nova.” In the 1960’s, with the help of important American artists, he merged bossa nova with jazz to create an innovative and highly popular sound. Jobim’s compositions have since been recorded and performed internationally by hundreds of singers and instrumentalists.

Vocalist Cheryl Ferris has assembled a combo of western New York’s finest musicians for this special evening. They are excited to showcase the brilliance and beauty of Jobim’s work in the intimate setting of the Pausa Art House.
