Bossa PDX
February 6 | 7:30 pm | $17 advance / $22 day of show* (No additional fees)
Bossa PDX brings the timeless elegance of bossa nova and Brazilian jazz to life with warmth and sophistication for a sound that’s smooth yet rhythmically rich.
Featuring pianist/vocalist Kerry Politzer, guitarist Ben Graves, bassist Robert Rodriguez, and George Colligan on drums, the ensemble delivers soulful, rhythm-driven performances that capture the spirit of Brazil with grace, style, and vibrant jazz energy. Joining the band for this musical journey through Brazil’s rich sonic landscape is special guest Brazilian flutist Gabriela Gimenes.
An evening including everything from nostalgic ballads to samba-infused burners, it’s perfect for jazz lovers and newcomers alike.
