An award-winning photographer as well as an acclaimed saxophonist, Leo Gandelman credits his involvement in the visual arts with helping to shape his musical achievements. "In a sense, the process of visualization and creating images taught me a lot about jazz," he says. "I realized I could have my own style and the same level of creativity and improvisation with music that I experienced with photography." Gandelman's newest album, Brazilian Soul (Verve Forecast), finds the Rio native mixing contemporary jazz with the rich musical traditions of his homeland. On "A R" (The Frog)" (featured), his sleek alto melody blows across a bed of lilting Brazilian vocals.
