Merrimans' Playhouse Jazz Performance Series presents Danilo Brito Quartet!
Danilo Brito is regarded as one of Brazil's leading mandolinists and keepers of the choro tradition, touring with his quartet. Danilo is important to the world of music both for his extraordinary musicianship, and for the unique musical and cultural tradition he promulgates through his work  the choro music of Brazil. Choro is considered the first characteristically Brazilian genre of urban popular music. The literal translation of the word is to cry, but its use in naming this music is figurative and points to its emotive power. More often bright than blue, the music is marked by syncopation, counterpoint, improvisation and virtuosity. Not only does choro share these traits with jazz, it shares the era of its birth, the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Just as African and European cultures forged the new jazz music in North America, they did so in Brazil with the birth of choro. It is not a coincidence that choro catches the ear of jazz musicians, just as jazz has always interested Brazilians. Danilo is also the quintessential story of a child prodigy, born with talent and interest in music far beyond his years, coupled with the good fortune to have a family steeped in Brazil's musical traditions. At the age of ten he began to visit music shops that hosted Rodas de Choro, informal gatherings of musicians who meet to play choro. Old enough to be his grandfathers, the musicians bestowed a particularly special compliment upon him, saying that he was the reincarnation of Jacob do Bandolim, one of the most important figures in choro history. Six years later, Danilo would go on to win the most prestigious award competition for Brazilian music, the Prêmio Visa de Música Popular Brasileira.
