Samara
“Cracking Latin-jazz quintet led by 606 proprietor Steve Rubie on flute and alto saxophone…explores these Latin jazz classics in great rhythmic style”
Time Out
“SAMARA” is a five-piece jazz/Latin group led by the 606 Club's own "Guv'nor" Steve Rubie on sax and flute, and suffice it to say we all think the band is just terrific! Featuring the brilliant Brazilian vocalist Carolina Lelis alongside the powerful piano of John Crawford the band take you on a road trip around Brazil, with music from the South, the North, the North East and beyond. And, joining the quintet this evening is the world-renowned Brazilian percussionist, Bosco de Oliveira, whose CV includes work with the likes of Airto Moreira (Miles Davis) and Dom Um Romao (Weather Report). The music is an infectious blend of Brazilian Samba, Jazz and Latin, and everyone has a great time!
