ABOUT THE ALBUM: “ALEXANDRA JACKSON: LEGACY & ALCHEMY”
In 2018 we celebrate the 60th anniversary of Bossa Nova; in 2017 we celebrated the 100th anniversary of Samba; and the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics was a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" for Brazil music and its synergy with American Jazz to be reintroduced to the world on the largest stage ever. Legacy and Alchemy saw this as the moment in time to honor the great Brazilian music legacy.
The instant classic double CD also features the late Al Jarreau, Oscar Castro-Neves, Rod Temperton and Dona Ivone Lara, as well as Larry Dunn, Al McKay, Carlinhos Brown, Banda Black Rio, Hubert Laws, Siedah Garrett, Paulo Jobim, Daniel Jobim, Teo Lima, Armando Marcal, Paulo Calasans, Arthur Maia, Darryl Jones, Charles Floyd, and other Brazilian and American greats contributing to the historic album.
