I was born and raised in Sao Paulo, Brazil. When i was 8 i moved to California. I love music, especially jazz, and I play guitar in a few bands. I'm white, jewish, and i like to have a good time!sn: thrashaxplayerWe share one planet but our earth plays host to many spheres of sound. Music is always born within a particular cultural environment, yet jazz is a genre whose embrace is wide. One reason is gravitational. Great metropoli attract artists in waves from afar. Another is that a musician hops continents, spreading the gospel of home. More diplomat than missionary, he returns with ears opened. Instead of an identity crisis he then wrestles with an identity opportunity: grounding himself in the national he becomes a partisan of the international. Jazz, a language like any other, is open to creole forms -- indeed like America it was born of mixed parents. Yet this album is no fusion, except perhaps of minds. Rather it attempts to prove that song is cross-cultural currency. All music is social, emerging out of a womb of trust, empathy and a common goal. Our world is now many...may we also be one.-Aaron Goldberg
