Grammy-Nominated Brazilian Jazz Master Antonio Adolfo Reimagines Cole Porter Classic with Innovative Octet Performance

Renowned Brazilian jazz pianist and composer Antonio Adolfo brings his distinctive musical vision to one of Cole Porter’s most celebrated compositions, “Love For Sale,” in a groundbreaking performance featuring his carefully curated Octet of top-tier Brazilian horn and percussion musicians.
With a career spanning over 60 years and 25 albums as a leader, Adolfo continues to demonstrate why he is internationally recognised as a jazz master. His extensive musical journey includes multiple Latin Grammy and Grammy nominations and a remarkable catalogue of over 200 compositions recorded by music industry luminaries such as Sergio Mendes, Earl Klugh, Herb Alpert, Stevie Wonder, and Dionne Warwick.
In recent years, Adolfo has distinguished himself through thematic recording projects celebrating Brazilian musical icons and styles. His recent albums include “BruMa: Celebrating Milton Nascimento” (2020), “Jobim Forever” (2021), and “Bossa 65: Celebrating Carlos Lyra and Roberto Menescal” (2023). While deeply rooted in Brazilian musical traditions, Adolfo’s complex jazz harmonies reveal a profound understanding and integration of American jazz influences.
His interpretation of “Love For Sale” promises to be a fresh, innovative take on the classic Porter composition, showcasing Adolfo’s unique ability to bridge musical traditions and create something both familiar and entirely new.
