CLARICE ASSAD For One Night Only Sat., October 22nd 7:30 PM



A versatile artist of musical depth and sophistication, Clarice Assad is making her mark in the music world in not one, but three areas: as a pianist, a vocalist and a composer. A seasoned performer, Clarice Assad is an accomplished composer whose work is sought out by musicians for its fluid blending of classical and jazz elements, subtly infused with the Latin rhythms of her native Brazil.

“She has an easy stage presence and is a bit of a comedienne with her wise cracking, off-the-cuff introductions to various pieces and a humorous evocation of her dream jazz band acted out entirely on the piano. She has that trademark Assad style of flying-fingered aplomb. At times it sounded like she had eight hands on the keys while her scat style floated effortlessly above it." Guitar MAGAZINE

“The siren's voice croons elegantly and seductively from the speakers on the very first note. The piano is warm and resonant. The singer then moves to a playful tone, notes dancing madly from the piano, her voice ringing out pure jazz." Indie-Music.com

“I have not heard a greater voice, or a better pianist, emerge from the Brazilian scene in years. Clarice has it all." Frank Matheis
