The acclaimed acoustic quartet explores the guitar's rich Brazilian heritage with the aptly titled LAGQ Brazil, their fourth Telarc recording. The album features the music of Sergio Assad, Marco Pereira, Hermeto Pascoal, Baden Powell, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Heitor Villa-Lobos and others. LAGQ Brazil marks the debut of guitarist Matthew Greif, who replaces long-time LAGQ member Andrew York and joins remaining members Bill Kanengiser, John Dearman and Scott Tennant. In addition to being an accomplished and award-winning classical guitarist, Greif has also played with many famous non-classical and jazz musicians, including Chet Atkins. LAGQ Brazil also features the rich and engaging voice of Luciana Souza, the Sao Paulo-born jazz vocalist and composer and three-time Grammy nominee. Souza joins LAGQ for Sergio Assad's "Medley" of Jobim tunes and a quartet version of Marco Pereira's "Sambadalu."
