Drummer Tom Cohen’s lifelong love affair with bossa nova music culminates with the release of Embraceable Brazil on Versa Records. More than a decade in the making, Cohen’s sixth album features a panoply of creative, able-bodied musicians in various combinations—with 20 American and Brazilian talents, including Filo Machado, Chico Pinheiro,, Larry McKenna and John Swana—adding up to a stunning rainbow array of colors, textures, and interpretations in the bossa/samba mode.
