Come celebrate the launch of The Last Minute, the debut solo album by the sought after Brazilian trumpeter, composer, and educator João Lenhari. Recorded live in a single session in São Paulo, the album captures the raw energy and spontaneity of a world-class ensemble, with no edits or post-production — just pure, unfiltered jazz. Featuring original compositions and fresh arrangements, the music reflects a modern, post–hard bop sensibility, drawing inspiration from jazz styles spanning the 1980s to the early 2000s as well as Lenhari’s Brazilian roots. This special event promises an evening of dynamic performances, heartfelt artistry, and a deep connection to the spirit of live jazz.
