Musica Paradiso – ‘Songs and Stories of the 'Silver Screen'
A night celebrating some of the most seductive, alluring and captivating music of  the 20th century; the music and the movie stars that carried us away to a place where dreams came true right before our eyes!In a pastiche of songs, themes and scenes that moved us all, we remember the great stars like Marilyn Monroe and the songs from movies like “Some Like it Hot”, Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and the huge hit “Moon River”, and other classic songs like “I Will Wait for You” from the film "Les Parapluies de Cherbourg"”. We take you to Cuban High Society of the 50’s and to Mexico and then to the Europe of Fellini, Michel Legrand and Almodovar. Through these magical themes and songs we re-live moments and feelings, and recapture the essence of a place or a past era. http://www.globalmusicfoundation.org/concerts/musica-paradiso-songs-and-stories-of-the-silver-screen-starring-tina-m/

A driving force behind the rise of the MPB (Musica Popular Brasileira) sound, singer/composer Edu Lobo was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1943; at 18 he formed his first trio with Dori Caymmi and the great Marcos Valle, and in 1962 forged a long-term writing partnership with renowned lyricist Vinicius de Moraes. Drawing influence from bossa nova masters including Antonio Carlos Jobim, João Gilberto, and Baden Powell, Lobo released his debut LP, A Musica de Edú Lobo por Edú Lobo in 1963; that same year he also authored the music for Oduvaldo Vianna Filho's play Os Azerados Mais Os Benvidos, the first of many stage collaborations. The album Cinco Na Bossa, recorded with Nara Leão and the Tamba Trio, followed in 1965, the same year Lobo took top honors at the First Annual Brazilian Popular Musical Festival with his composition "Arrastão," a major hit for singer Elis Regina. (In 1967, he repeated the feat with "Ponteio.")

Albums including 1968's Edú followed before Lobo met Sergio Mendes in 1969, resulting in a contract with A&M Records for From the Hot Afternoon, which featured saxophonist Paul Desmond; by now a resident of Los Angeles, he toured with Mendes and Brasil 66 before resurfacing in 1971 with Sergio Mendes Presents Lobo, followed later that same year by Cantiga de Longe. Upon returning to Brazil, Lobo focused his energies on composing for films before returning to the studio for 1973's Missa Breve; he then spent the mid-'70s writing music for Globo, the world's fourth-largest television network, including work on the hit series Caso Especial. 1976 saw the release of the LP Limite Das Aguas, with the widely acclaimed Camaleão appearing two years later; in 1979, Lobo's score to the feature Barra Pesada earned "Best Soundtrack" honors at the Gramado Film Festival.

Lobo inaugurated the '80s with a flurry of activity, following the LP Tempo Presente with the 1981 soundtrack Jogos de Danca (a work composed for the Ballet Guaira) as well as Tom e Edu, a collaboration with Antonio Carlos Jobim. In the wake of two more ballet scores, O Grande Circo Mistico and Gabriela, Lobo worked on a series of stage musicals Vargas, O Corsario do Rei, and Danca da Meia-Lua  before finally returning to the studio in 1990 for the LP Serie Personalidade. Corrupião followed in 1993, and two years later he returned with Meia Noite. The score to the 1997 film Guerra de Canudos preceded Lobo's next project, a planned adaptation of Jo Soares' book A Samba for Sherlock. Bio ~ https://itunes.apple.com/br/artist/edu-lobo/id10485

Antônio "Tom" Carlos Brasileiro de Almeida Jobim (January 25, 1927 – December 8, 1994), also known as Tom Jobim, was a Brazilian songwriter, composer, arranger, singer, and pianist/guitarist. He was a primary force behind the creation of the bossa nova style, and his songs have been performed by many singers and instrumentalists within Brazil and internationally.

Widely known as the composer of "Garota de Ipanema" (The Girl from Ipanema), one of the most recorded songs of all time, Jobim has left a large number of songs that are now included in jazz and pop standard repertoires. The song Garota de Ipanema was recorded 240 times in another version for several artists. More Bio ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant%C3%B4nio_Carlos_Jobim

Benny Carter was and continues to be a jazz legend. Active from the twenties until his death, he was a true pioneer as a saxophonist, trumpet player and composer/arranger. Perhaps because Carter spent many years as a composer for film and television in Los Angeles and out of the jazz scene, he is not as well known as others who were present and influential during jazz's formative years, such as Duke Ellington, Earl Hines and Count Basie. It was Carter who advised a young Robert Farnon how to create a full score, and Benny also mentored trombonist J.J. Johnson. Carter's considerable catalog is now being properly published by Jazz Lines Publications. Because Carter is not as well known as Ellington or Basie, it is possible that many band directors are passing up the opportunity to play and expose young people to this wonderful and classic music. While the many scores that we publish by Gil Evans, Mary Lou Williams and others may be too difficult, there are several titles by Benny that your band can play. Even though it was written for professionals, much of his music is playable by middle-school bands. The melodies are infectious and the chord changes interesting to study and jam on. This is the perfect teaching material that is also solid musically and has delighted audiences for years. ~ Jeff Sultanof   http://www.ejazzlines.com/Carter-Benny-c494.html

Nato a Roma il 10 giugno 1956, ha cominciato a suonare la chitarra all’età di dieci anni come autodidatta ed é considerato uno dei più importanti riferimenti per la chitarra jazz in italia. Nel 1979 entra a far parte del ” Centro Jazz St. Louis” come insegnante di chitarra jazz e da quel momento inizia la sua attività di professionista nei club della capitale accanto ad alcuni dei jazzisti più in vista. Nel 1980 partecipa alla rassegna internazionale “Ischia ‘80” con un concerto per chitarra sola. Nel 1981 incide il suo primo LP dal titolo “The Way ISee”. Mentre si intensifica la sua attività a livello nazionale, inizia in questo periodo anche una collaborazione concertistica con musicisti d’oltre oceano come Chet Baker e Billy Smith. Nel 1982 partercipa ad “Umbria Jazz” con il suo trio ed il “Festival Internazionale di Jazz” di Istambul con Romano Mussolini. Nello stesso anno incide il suo secondo disco dal titolo “Ganimede”. Nel 1983 entra a far parte del gruppo di Nunzio Rotondo, con il quale partecipa ad alcune trasmissioni televisive.

Nel 1984 partecipa a “Umbria Jazz” con la propria formazione alla quale si aggiunge come ospite il percussionista Ray Mantilla.

Ma l’incontro più significativo è quello che avrà nel 1988 con Joe Pass che lo chiama a suonare come ospite nel corso di alcuni concerti in un club romano. Traendo ispirazione da questo grande virtuoso della chitarra jazz, il talento di Eddy Palermo si orienta sempre più verso il “solo guitar”. Insegna per alcuni anni all’Università della Musica di Roma. Nel 1990 inizia una collaborazione con Augusto Martelli, con il quale partecipa ad alcune trasmissioni televisive e ad alcuni concerti. Nel 1992 incide un CD intitolato “The song is you”. Nel 1995 partecipa a “Jazz Image”, la nota rassegna Jazz a Romana, con il gruppo di George Coleman.

Nella stagione 96-97 collabora per la RAI ad una serie di trasmissioni condotte da Antonio Lubrano. Nel 1997 incide per la Panasstudio “Eddy Palermo Trio”. Dal 98 la sua attività si allarga in brasile dove oltre ad una serie di concerti per chitarra solo ha occasione di collaborare con musicisti affermati come Nico Assum‚âo Sizâo Machado, Jesè Roberto Bertrami (Azimut) Mauricio Einhor (Batita Diferente, Estamos Ai) ed altri. Il suo nome figura alla pagina 1096 della grande Enciclopedia del Jazz, Ed. Curcio, 1982. Nel 2002 partecipa ad un piccolo tour negli USA che lo porta a suonare al “Festival del Jazz in Huston”.
