NYC: SUNDAY JAZZ BRUNCH: NANNY ASSIS

Nanny Assis was born in the northeastern Brazilian city of Salvador, Bahia, in 1969. One of Brazil's first cities, with predominant African influences, Salvador is the birthplace of some of the country's most remarkable music creations. That, in part, explains why Nanny has music running through his veins, making him an outstanding singer, a terrific drummer/ percussionist, and a talented songwriter who has broadly touched hearts and souls through musical expressions that go beyond comprehension. Since 1986, when he began his successful professional career, Nanny Assis has played with amazing artists like Vinicius Cantauria, Eumir Deodato, and John Patitucci. Yet, despite the grandeur of the folks with whom he's sided, Nanny has always managed to find his forte. With a great ability to perform Bossa Nova, Brazilian Jazz, Forro and a myriad of Afro-Brazilian sounds, Nanny has cheered audiences around the world and has shown particular skills in engaging the public with personal charisma and unique stage interaction. There is a $29.50 cover. **Price includes brunch, music and a drink.**
