GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass.— Clarinetist Anat Cohen and 7-string guitarist Marcello Gonçalves will perform on Saturday, May 17th, at 5 PM at Saint James Place, located at 352 Main Street, Great Barrington, MA 01230.
Cohen, praised by jazz critic Nat Hentoff for her deeply felt storytelling through music, has formed several quartets, a 'tentet', a trio (with her two brothers), a record label and released 21 albums, and has been nominated for two Grammy Awards. NPR's Fresh Air has called her a primary force for re-establishing the clarinet as a solo instrument in the 21st century, and DownBeat Magazine has named her the top clarinetist in both the readers and critics polls every year since 2011.
Gonçalves is known as a performer, musical director, arranger, and producer. Both musicians are also educators, with Gonçalves at the Federal University of Rio and Cohen at the Stanford University of Jazz Workshop in California and the New School in Manhattan.
The performance will feature South American jazz and choro music, a Brazilian specialty.
