Savannah Music Festival: The World of Clarice Assad featuring Off the Cliff and Mike Marshall
When: Thu., April 2, 12:30 p.m. 2015
A visionary composer and virtuoso pianist who draws on Heitor Villa-Lobos and Hermeto Pascoal in equal measure, and an overall practitioner of vocalese, Brazilian native Clarice Assad is as comfortable performing with a symphony orchestra as with her ancient-to-future unit Off The Cliff, which, as she puts it, "uses different combinations of instruments from song to song so that it never sounds the same."
