Miguel Zenón & Chico Pinheiro: JOBIM at 100

Lineup

About

One of the most decorated musicians in modern jazz, Miguel Zenón boasts an extensive list of awards, from winning the Jazz Journalist's Association's "Alto Saxophonist of the Year" three years running (along with both arranger and composer of the year), to winning a Grammy for his 2023 album El Arte Del Bolero Vol. 2.

For his second outing at Ronnie's, he brings along with him the masterfully talented Brazillian guitarist Chico Pinheiro. A seasoned musician at the club, having performed with his own quartet at Ronnie's several times in recent years, the duo's partnership on stage will prove a special night for Latin jazz lovers.

The show celebrates 100 years since the birth of Antônio Carlos Jobim, a man considered one of the "fathers of Bossa Nova" and one of the greatest exponents of Brazillian music to the wider world in the 1960s, and promises to expertly mix modern jazz improvisation and classic Latin American & Brazillian song traditions.

“Zenón’s alto playing remains a marvel: spotless intonation, warm and inviting tone, level of execution sky-high on written parts as well as solos”
