ÁguaMarinha Trio is a meeting of some of the finest Brazilian musicians today. Nailor Proveta (saxophone/clarinet) leader of the acclaimed and two time Grammy-nominated "Banda Mantiqueira"; Multi-instrumentalist and compopser Arismar do Espírito Santo, voted as one of the best guitar players in Brazil by Guitar Player Magazine; percussionist Rogerio Boccato, featured on Kenny Garrett's and John Patitucci's Grammy-nominated albums, and a Brazilian Music teacher at The Manhattan School of Music.

Together, Proveta, Arismar and Rogerio play music rooted in the "Choro", a traditional Brazilian style that originated at the end of the 19th century. With lots of space for creativity and improvisation, the TRIO's modern take on Choro is loose and open, surprising and full of unusual twists and turns and yet the music never loses the infectious groove. A unique and exciting direction in jazz and world music!

The "água-marinha" is certainly the most well-known of the Brazilian precious stones. Its colors comprises all the spectrum of the blue color, reflecting the tonalities found in the sea throughout the immense Brazilian coastline.
