 rhythms and American jazz. In Brazil\, a parallel fusion emerged as samb
 a musicians absorbed jazz harmony and swing phrasing\, eventually shapin
 g the distinctive feel known as Samba Swing—a groove defined by off-be
 at accents and layered rhythmic interplay. Together\, these traditions p
 roduced a distinctive swing feel that reshaped modern jazz and remains c
 entral to Afro-Brazilian jazz today.\n\nThis concert features the ninete
 en-piece CJRO Big Band along with Marion Powers on vocals. The evening w
 ill also highlight members of the celebrated CJRO Latin Jazz Ensemble\, 
 including Victor Mestas (piano)\, Gabriel Santiago (guitar)\, Gonzalo Te
 ppa (double bass)\, and Leo Corona on percussion.\n\nThe CJRO is one of
