| Jorge Continentino:(Saxophone & Flute player, composer and arranger)Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Jorge comes from a musical family. His parents, both musicians themselves, introduced their children to music at an early age, in an environment where Jazz and Bossa-Nova were played live or on the stereo all day long.He began working as a professional musician at the age of 15, and has recorded and performed onstage with many of Brazils most respected musicians, such as Milton Nascimento, Durval Ferreira, Marisa Monte, Ramiro Musotto, Moraes Moreira, Bebel Gilberto, Zeca Balero, Edu Lobo, Skank, Marina Machado, Sandra de Sa, and Telo Borges. He has performed at the JVC and Montreux Jazz festivals, the Sfink Festival, Mexico City Jazz Festival,and others, and has played shows around the globe, from South America to Japan and in between.In 2000 he put a band together with his brothers, Kiko and Alberto Continentino, keyboardist and bassist respectively, called the ContinenTrio. Together they have played in numerous jazz festivals and recorded two specials for the Rede Minas television network in Brazil.
