South Motors jazz at Pinecrest Gardens presents: Vinicius Cantuaria Quintet plays Jobim. The graceful Brazilian guitarist and singer Vinicius Cantuária, whose professional career began as a composer and drummer with Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil among others, moved to New York in 1994 and became immersed in a downtown scene that found him mixing it up with musicians as varied as Bill Frisell, Laurie Anderson and Brad Mehldau, as well as leading his own contemporary Brazilian jazz bands. For the past year or so, he’s been living most of the time “here at my house in Rio and on airplanes,” says Cantuária. This wonderful quintet will perform a mix songs by the prolific composer Antonio Jobim that will include classics like “Chega de Saudade,” “A Felicidade” and “The Girl from Ipanema”. Gates open at 6:30 p.m., concert begins at 8:00 p.m. Tickets can be purchased through the web page or by calling 1-877-496-8499.
