SUMMARY:Geovane Santos and Richard Miller on Brazilian jazz
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an online conversation about Brazilian jazz with talented guitarists and educators Geovane Santos and Richard Miller. They will play some solo pieces and talk about their journeys performing and teaching Brazilian jazz guitar. \nAbout Geovane Santos: \nGeovane Santos\, a native Brazilian from the city of Belo Horizonte\, is a guitarist\, composer\, arranger\, vocalist\, educator\, and awardee of the 2017 Louis Armstrong Foundation Jazz Composer Award through ASCAP in association with the University of New Orleans (UNO). Currently a local presence in the New Orleans music scene\, in his debut album “Jobim\,” Santos pays tribute to one of Brazil’s greatest composers of all time: Antonio Carlos Jobim. In spite of being regarded as well rounded solo guitarist and improviser\, Santos doesn’t have his solo guitar playing in the forefront at all. More as a collaborative effort\, every song has a featured musician\, either carrying the melody\, singing\, or improvising. The entire album consists of Santos’s impressions of Jobim’s music. There are numbers that reenact the classic Bossa-Nova sound such as in Corcovado\, Once I Love\, Chega de Saudade\, Wave. and Só Danço Samba; jazzed up rendition of Triste; Caribbean sounds from Haiti and Jamaica on Água de Beber and Girl From Ipanema; Fusion rock on How Insensitive and O Morro Não tem Vez; and Dindi as a romantic ballad. The album is very diverse\, not only for the genres chosen for each selection\, but in terms of instrumentation\, which mixes acoustic and electric instruments\, and songs sung in English and Portuguese (a defining characteristic of Jobim’s music). \nYou can find Geovane Santos’ information at www.gpstheguitarist.com. \nAbout Richard Miller: \nRichard Miller explores the richly expressive sounds of the nylon string guitar (both 7 string and 6 string) with a repertoire that includes Brazilian styles (choro\, samba\, bossa nova\, forró\, etc.)\, American jazz\, Latin American styles (salsa\, bolero\, tangos\, etc.)\, and Classical guitar. He is also active as an educator\, composer\, and writer/presenter for academic publications and conferences. He earned a Ph.D. in music theory from Catholic University of America in 2006 and he has taught theory and guitar at Georgetown University. He holds a Master of Music degree in guitar performance from Manhattan School of Music. Richard Miller was born in Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil to an American father and a Brazilian mother and moved frequently in Brazil\, United States and Puerto Rico (see “Treble is my middle name” under musings). He has become well known in the Washington\, DC area for his performances of both classical guitar music and popular Brazilian and Latin-American music and has traveled extensively for concerts and recitals in United States and Latin America. A review of a recital by Richard at the State Department affirmed “Throughout his recital\, he not only displayed impeccable technique but communicated his love of this beautiful music.” A review in the Washington City Paper by Joel Siegal of the duo of Richard Miller with Patrick de Santos (voice) stated “Patrick and Richard strike a remarkable balance between disciplined technique and otional abandon.”

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Frevo dance presentation
DESCRIPTION:Note: In response to the COVID-19 outbreak\, this event has been postponed. Stay tuned for rescheduling details.\nKate Spanos\, PhD will present her research on frevo dance in a talk entitled\, “A Dance of Resistance from Recife\, Brazil: Carnivalesque Improvisation in Frevo\,” at the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage. \nAbstract:\nFrevo is an energetic music and dance that symbolizes Brazil’s northeastern state of Pernambuco: loud brass instruments provide the fast-paced music and dancers in bright costumes hold small colorful umbrellas as they perform quick footwork and acrobatics. The word frevo is a colloquial form of the Portuguese verb ferver (“to boil”) that alludes its frenetic nature and the hot\, sweaty Carnival during which it is danced\, especially in Pernambuco’s capital\, Recife. In this presentation\, I present ethnographic research based on six months of fieldwork in Recife to examine frevo as a “dance of resistance” that implements strategies derived from its origins in the Brazilian martial art of capoeira. In considering how frevo’s playful and carnivalesque nature combines with its improvisational techniques\, I propose the term “carnivalesque improvisation” to describe how dancers communicate cultural knowledge and work through and around the unpredictability and frequent violence of Carnival and Recife’s society at large. I examine the teaching methodologies and performance strategies of selected frevo groups\, performers\, and choreographers to show how practitioners challenge sociocultural boundaries and socioeconomically determined attitudes. \nBio:\nKate Spanos\, PhD is a dancer and dance scholar specializing in studies of dance\, music\, and festival in Brazil\, the Eastern Caribbean\, and Ireland. In her research\, she examines kinesthetic strategies involved in “dances of resistance” from cultures around the world. She has conducted research on frevo in Recife\, Brazil as a postdoctoral Fulbright U.S. Scholar and on masquerades on the Caribbean island of Montserrat as a doctoral candidate at the University of Maryland\, College Park. She received her Master’s in Traditional Irish Dance Performance from the University of Limerick in Ireland.
