Come be part of the special encore concert audience for a live album CD release event at the popular monthly Jazz Latino @ Galeria West concert series on Friday, September 30, 2016 at 7:30pm. Teatro Sí brings to you this opportunity as accomplished Brazilian jazz drummer Mauricio De Souza and his BOSSA BRASIL quartet return with their critically acknowledged sounds to the stage at the Galeria West Art & Music Gallery, located at 111 Quimby Street in downtown Westfield, NJ.
For the past 12 years, Maurício de Souza has been performing and directing his own music groups.

De Souza's albums, "Here. There..." and "Different Directions" have achieved high critic and public acclaim. Both albums were covered in Jazz Week and were featured on WBGO, Sirius XM, Pandora, Music Choice, and numerous radio stations in the US, Canada, Brazil, Canary Islands and Venezuela.
Mauricio has also been featured in numerous publications, including the cover of Hot House Jazz Magazine (and Different Directions was reviewed on "Winning Spins"), Jazz Times Magazine, Modern Drummer Magazine and Blog, New York City Jazz Record, Jazz Inside New York, Revista Gente, The Star Ledger and others.
