SUMMARY:Victor Monsivais\, Jazz + Bossanova
DESCRIPTION:Victor Monsivais\, Jazz + Bossanova \nVictor Monsivais \nJazz + Bossa Nova Guitar / Vocals / Percussion \nVictor Monsivais has been performing Jazz Standard and Bossa Nova\, as well as his own compositions. for over two decades in all kinds of events and venues; including the legendary Rex Hotel\, the Reservoir Lounge\, the Gladstone Hotel\, the Drom Taberna and The Lula lounge. \nHis repertoire draws from the greatest Brazilian composers\, such as Antonio Carlos Jobim\, Newton Mendoça and Ary Barroso; performing their original Portuguese versions. Also\, when performing Jazz Standards\, from composers such as Ellington or Van Heusen\, he renders the original versions. \nVictor is a vocalist\, songwriter\, and arranger\, who sings and plays the guitar\, with the true Bossa\, Swing and Latin beats; he also plays percussion and occasionally piano in his solo presentations. Weather playing solo or in a larger ensemble\, he brings to his performances that rarely heard hard-smooth Brazilian rhythm and harmony\, creating an aura of “”alegría & saudade”” which are the two basic ingredients of Brazilian music\, recreating the atmosphere of a quiet night in Copacabana; and invokes that indescribable mood and romance of a Manhattan evening when he performs jazz standards. \nHe is the founder and band leader of the Victor Monsivais Jazz Trio and Bossa Tres.
