The jazz canon is full of outstanding material for musicians to use as vehicles for improvisation. The music of Brazilian composer Antônio Carlos Jobim and his peers has been especially ripe for interpretation since the 1960s. Chromatic harmonica specialist Yvonnick Prené looked to the Brazilian jazz school for inspiration for his new duo project entitled Jobim’s World. Mr. Prené is a professional jazz harmonica player, originally from France and currently based in the New York City area. He will be accompanied by Toru Dodo on piano.
