With an unwavering passion for jazz and world music, he has crafted a captivating and distinct musical voice. A Brazilian artist based in New York City, Kautz has been an important part of the city’s music scene for the last decade and has played and/or recorded with some of the top artists in the industry today, including Tim Ries, Magos Herrera, Nilson Matta, Chico Pinheiro, Steve Wilson, Lenny Andrade, Fabio Gouvea, Helio Alves, Victor Prieto, and Lionel Loueke. In addition to his work with various artists, Kautz has taken the lead in various projects in which he fuses the sounds of Brazilian music with jazz, most recently with his 2024 release, Where We Begin. He is joined by Chico Pinheiro, known to Athenaeum audiences from appearances with guitarists Romero Lubambo and Anthony Wilson and as the leader of his own quintet with saxophonist Bob Mintzer. Guitar giant Pat Metheny wrote, “There are many incredible guitarists out there. On the top of that list, I’d include Chico Pinheiro.” The Boston Globe called him “one of the brightest lights on today’s Brazilian jazz scene.” Visit: https://www.ljathenaeum.org/events/jazz-25-0116 Alexandre Kautz on Instagram and Facebook
