Detail:

Lani Hall first rose to fame as lead singer for Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66. Herb Alpert’s work with The Tijuana Brass helped propel Latino music into the pop music limelight. The Hall is thrilled to present these two legends paired up to perform a rare and intimate evening of American and Brazilian jazz. Featuring a trio of masterful musicians -- Bill Cantos (piano), Michael Shapiro (drums) and Hussain Jiffrey (bass), they play original arrangements from a selection of American standard songs with some spicy Brazilian music in the mix. Alpert's warm, expressive trumpet lines compliment Hall's sensual, emotional voice, making this an enchanting evening of sophisticated music for all.
