Dani Gurgel and Debora Gurgel's hypnotic bliss is the result of their long established musical intimacy.

Dani Gurgel's syncopated and precise scatting vocals are stitched along Debora Gurgel's left hand piano grooves.

They sound dynamic and energetic, filled with the delight of Brazilian music, swirled by Jazz improvisation, and electrified by their constant interaction amongst themselves and with the audience.

They have now stretched her acclaimed DDG4 quartet into the DDG19 Big Band - the sum of DDG4, 5 saxophones, 4 trombones, 4 trumpets and 2 more flutes.

With stunning arrangements by Debora Gurgel and Big Rabello's contemporary music production, their original music is multiplied by 19 of Brazil's finest musicians into a breathtaking record that fills one's ears with delight.

They fly through northeastern baiao, fast-tempo sambas, contemporary pieces with odd ostinati and leaping melodies, samba jazz and so many different brasilities and worldwide influences; also welcoming Bay Area trombonist Natalie Cressman and electric bass virtuoso Michael Pipoquinha as special guests.
