Bio

In Brazil, they know something about great grooves and guitar players, and in Chico Pinheiro, the two have come together in dramatic fashion. This young Sao Paulo native has set the Brazilian music scene alight with a glorious synthesis of bossa and jazz that moves the idiom onward from the towering achievements of artists like Joyce and Baden Powell.
Chico’s new CD featuring special guests Bob Mintzer and Dianne Reeves will be released worldwide in May 2010 by SunnySide records.
In the past his collaborations have included Brad Mehldau, Esperanza Spalding, and the Paris Jazz Big Band, giving a measure of his growing reputation in the jazz world, where his quicksilver phrasing and sophisticated harmony allied to an authentic Brazilian style is winning him many admirers.

Back home, he is equally acclaimed by musicians from right across the spectrum, working with leading singers like Ed Motta and Dori Caymmi.
He sings too, in a sotto voce style that evokes the hushed intimacy of Joao Gilberto and Chet Baker, further evidence if it were needed, that here is a musician with something new and original to add to the great love affair between Brazil and jazz.

"When I first heard Chico Pinheiro I was instantly struck by his great virtuosity, not only as a musician but also as a composer and arranger. I pray that his talent and inspiration will keep growing and may continue to inspire and guide the next generation."
MOACIR SANTOS

" I've been appreciating Chico's work for a long time and I'm a huge fan, there's no one around doing what he does. "
CESAR CAMARGO MARIANO

"...Chico Pinheiro is the perfect example of a bright new talent on the horizon, clearly proving people wrong who've claimed that nobody interesting has emerged on the scene since my generation."
EDU LOBO
