Saturday March 30 at 7 pm. Brazilian Jazz Fusion with Natalie Cressman and Ian Faquini at Occidental Center for the Arts.

Their original material features songs in three different languages, with the warm instrumentation of acoustic guitar and trombone and two-part vocal harmonies hugging the Brazilian-accented Portuguese. They have performed at Monterey Jazz Festival, SFJAZZ Center, and and in Brazil, Portugal, Spain, and Italy. Tickets are $25 GA, $20 for OCA members at www.occidentalcenterforthearts.org; or at the door. Fine refreshments for sale. OCA is wheelchair accessible.
