Due to Perform at Java Jazz Festival 2010... Ivan Lins






This musician has become an icon of the Brazil music world. Although he is a graduate of chemical engineering, Ivan Lins chose to explore his passion as a singing musician. He began recording in 1970; in 1980, he left his home for the US to pursue a musical career. His piano-playing and beautiful voice can be enjoyed through more than 30 studio albums. Ivan Lins was so special that the late Miles Davis planned to create an album together. Unfortunately, Miles Davis passed away before the plan was actualized. Today, Ivan Lins is one of Brazil's most recorded and best-known composers overseas, particularly in the USA and Japan. His career has spanned 35 years and 27 records, with over 350 songs recorded in Brazil and hundreds more around the world.
