Philadelphia drummer Tom Cohen has been playing Brazilian music for many years—with his own groups and as a sideman, in jazz settings and Latin ones, with American and Latin players. His love of bossa nova goes back to his childhood, when he was hooked by the Sergio Mendes and Brasil ’66 albums his parents played. But not until he created an album of his own in this stylistic vein did he realize the possibilities of putting his personal stamp on it.
