Rio in Water Mill: It's the Bossa Nova Quartet
The Ludmilla Brazil Quartet will play bossa nova’s fusion of samba and jazz at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill tomorrow at 6 p.m. Ludmilla, who has been performing in the New York area for 20 years, will be accompanied by Marcello Pimenta, John Ludlow, and Felipe Sobrinho.
Bossa nova’s launch into the international musical firmament is generally credited to a 1962 concert at Carnegie Hall that featured Sergio Mendes, Joao and Astrud Gilberto, Tom Jobim, and others. The genre has remained popular and has recently experienced a resurgence in Brazil.
Tickets are $25, $10 for members, and advance reservations have been recommended.
