Piedmont Piano Company is pleased to present

Duo Violão Brasil & Ami Molinelli, featuring Harvey Wainapel
The Music of Pixinguinha

Duo Violao plus 1 – Rogerio Souza, Edinho Gerber, Ami Molinelli – will play music by Pixinguinha from their album Historia do Choro released last year. They will also explore more music of this brilliant composer, arranger, flautist, and saxophonist born in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, considered one of the greatest Brazilian composers of popular music, particularly within choro. By integrating the music of the older choro composers of the 19th century with contemporary jazz-like harmonies, Afro-Brazilian rhythms, and sophisticated arrangements, he introduced choro to a new audience and helped to popularize it as a uniquely Brazilian genre. He also wrote sambas, maxixes and several other styles of music and is considered the godfather of this genre.
