The “Bossa Nova Noites: 2016 in Rio de Janeiro” concert
series is set to introduce the Legacy & Alchemy project to the world during
the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics. The series features Alexandra Jackson and Daniel
Jobim in concert with an all-star band, performing music from Ms. Jackson’s
upcoming 2017 album. These fine artists will be spreading wide throughout Rio
de Janeiro the soul of Brazilian music–in the heart of the city that made
Samba, Bossa Nova and música popular brasileira, a global phenomena.
With exclusive performances ranging in location from
National Olympic Houses (Germany, France, Japan and United States) located in
iconic areas such as the beaches of Ipanema and Leblon, to the Lagoa, Jardim
Botânico and Barra da Tijuca communities, to exclusive rooftop lounges, the
Bossa Nova Noites concerts will bring the best of Brazilian music and soul to
an international audience at a time when the world’s attention is focused on
Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 Olympic Games.
Alexandra Jackson is an American singer, songwriter and
musician from Atlanta. She learned piano
as a child, when she began classical training.
Her household was filled with a range of music, including Miles Davis,
Earth, Wind & Fire, Johnny Hartman, Luciana Pavarotti, Michael Jackson, and
Antonio Carlos Jobim. In her early years, Alexandra was a soloist at Lincoln
Center as part of the Essentially Ellington competition. That led her to pursue Jazz in
college–attending the prestigious Studio Music and Jazz Vocal program at the
University of Miami. Now, in 2016, Alexandra is working on her debut album, Legacy
& Alchemy, that channels her four primary musical loves and experiences:
Brazilian Music, American Jazz & Soul, NeoSoul, and London Soul Jazz, into
a music alchemy intended for contemporary audiences worldwide.
