On Saturday, June 17, at 7 p.m., come to the Sedona Posse Grounds Hub to enjoy music from Paris to Rio de Janeiro with Vismaya and a trio of visiting musicians.
Well known to Sedona, Vismaya, aka Ingrid Hagelberg, is a recording artist and vocalist who has toured the world with her international jazz cabaret act. Vismaya has always loved, performed and recorded Brazilian music and it is her great joy to present these wonderful musicians for an evening of Brazilian and Latin music.
Originally from Sweden, she has released several CDs internationally and performed at jazz festivals and supper clubs. Her vocal stylings feature a repertoire of songs in English, French, Swedish, German and Portuguese.
For this performance, she is joined by Luiz Santos on drums and percussion who recently relocated to Phoenix from New York City. His vibrant and joyful music will make listeners feel alive and fill hearts with hope. He has recorded several CD projects in Rio De Janeiro, featuring his own compositions.
Pianist Dave Henning originally hails from Troy, Mich., north of Detroit. After moving to Phoenix in 1997, Henning started working immediately and has never been in more demand. He shows up as a regular at local concert venues like The Nash, The Valley Bar, Jazz in the Hills and Sacred Grounds.
When not leading his own DH4 quartet, he is also the pianist for Miguel “Mambo” DeLeon in his Latin jazz group, Carte Blanc, as well as his 12-piece salsa band, the El Mambo Orchestra.
Allen Ames, playing violin, bass and guitar, lives in Phoenix, but performs often in the Verde Valley. He has played with orchestras and chamber ensembles including the Arizona Opera and Ballet. Since 1985, he has explored a wider field of musical improvisation, playing and recording with Mosaico Flamenco and R. Carlos Nakai.
Vismaya recently returned from Cape Town, South Africa, where she performed with musicians from her first CD, “Flying High,” and will return to Paris this fall to perform at Cercle Suedois and Chez Papa Jazz club.
Doors open at 6.30 p.m. so arrive and look at the Legendary Luminaries art show featuring the art of Adele Seronde, Ruth Waddell, Theodosia Green and Leda Livant before the rhythms of Brazil begin.
Cost is $15 at the door. The Sedona Posse Grounds Hub is located at 525B Posse Grounds Road.
