Vereda performs a tribute concert to Moacir Santos at Sesc 24 de Maio in São Paulo on Jan 17, at 8 pm.
Sesc 24 de Maio’s theater welcomes Vereda on Saturday, January 17, for a concert celebrating the music and influence of Moacir Santos. Led by double bassist Sizão Machado, the quartet revisits the legacy of the Pernambuco-born maestro and multi-instrumentalist, a key figure in Brazilian music.
A quartet rooted in shared repertoire
Together since 2023, the musicians first formed a trio before expanding the project, combining original compositions with a repertoire they hold in common. Their approach bridges Brazilian music and jazz, drawing connections to names such as Tom Jobim, Keith Jarrett and McCoy Tyner.
Vereda features Sizão Machado (double bass), Edson Sant’anna (piano), Sérgio Coelho (trombone) and Bruno Migotto (drums). One of the group’s signatures is an open, improvisation-friendly stage dynamic that emphasizes spontaneity and interplay.
Celebrating Moacir Santos’ legacy
The tribute highlights Moacir Santos’ wide-ranging contributions to the music scene. Over his career, he worked with Nara Leão, Roberto Menescal, Sérgio Mendes and Lynda Laurence, released albums and composed film soundtracks.
His music earned strong recognition in Brazil and the United States, where he died in 2006. At Sesc 24 de Maio, the quartet brings that influence to the stage through instrumental readings and creative freedom.
