BrazilJazz featuring Kevyn Lettau

This is the recording of a truly wonderful band we had going there for a couple of years. Kevyn Lettau is my favorite singer and Mike Shapiro is very musical percussionist. We were a trio without bass and embraced Brazilian music as well as jazz and Fats Waller’s Honeysuckle Rose.

Musicians
Kevyn Lettau: vocals
Peter Sprague: guitars, synths
