Bossa Nova Guitar and Brazilian Jazz for Weddings and Private Parties in Minnesota MN

TICKET TO BRASIL is a Bossa Nova, Samba and Brazilian Jazz
project created around a collective love for the celebration of
rhythm and for the spirit of experimentation. The group was
founded by classical and contemporary jazz guitarist, percussionist and composer Pavel Jany, and it is based in Minneapolis / Saint
Paul, Minnesota. This international, unique and well established
ensemble has performed at a number of local as well as
international events, including: The Winnipeg Jazz Festival, Hot
Summer Jazz Festival, MN Orchestra SommerFest, Twin Cities Jazz
Festival, Sioux Falls Jazz Festival, Grand Marais Jazz Festival,
Ordway World Stage Festival, Bloomington Latin Music Festival, MN
Winter Jazz Festival, MN State Fair, MN Global Jazz Festival, and
many more. The group has opened for such renowned artists as
Karrin Allyson and Cibelle.

PAVEL JANY, a classical, jazz, and international music guitarist,
composer and percussionist, was first introduced to Brazilian music
through the works of Heitor Villa-Lobos and legendary guitarist
Baden Powell, while he was studying classical guitar in Europe.
He was further inspired by a number of bossa nova artists, and by
the masters of Brazilian fusion, such as Airto Moreira, Flora Purim
and Egberto Gismonti, to name a few. His interest in samba and
Afro-Brazilian music deepened during his three year stay in West
Africa. He also traveled extensively to South America, and while
his long musical journey encompasses many various styles,
Brazilian music remains his main domain.

BOSSA NOVA was born as an amalgam of Afro-Brazilian samba,
European classical music, and American jazz. Its moods range from folkloric and sultry popular sounds, to sophisticated and complex
compositions. “Ticket To Brasil reveals bossa nova as a distinct
genre that is both elegant and timeless”.
