New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The [compositions] are catchy, lyrical, and full of heart - worthy tributes to Brazil, the land of Roger's dreams.

American composer and pianist, Roger Davidson, with his fellow Trio members Vanderlei Pereira and Pablo Aslan, and special guest Hendrik Meurkens gave an engaging musical performance at the book signing of the newly released songbook,To Brazil with Love, in New York's Greenwich Village. Sponsored by music publisher and distributer, Carl Fisher Music, and Soundbrush Records, the Roger Davidson Trio performed compositions from the songbook.

To Brazil with Love features 120 original Brazilian compositions by Roger Davidson and has received accolades from music reviewers and fans for its artistic and technical merits. "Roger conveys that all-consuming sense of joy that is just as key to the Brazilian character," wrote James Gavin, author of Deep in a Dream: The Long Night of Chet Baker. "The [compositions] are catchy, lyrical, and full of heart - worthy tributes to Brazil, the land of Roger's dreams." The book comes with a sample CD of 8 tracks which have been recorded on various Davidson/Soundbrush recordings.

The songbook embodies Roger Davidson's connection to the spirit and music of Brazil. His passion budded early in his life when he, at the age of 12, first listened to early Bossa Nova recordings of Stan Getz with bossa pioneer João Gilberto. Since that moment, Davidson has followed a lifelong quest to explore the music of Brazil. He has produced five recordings of Brazilian music including the 2 CD set Journey to Rio with some of the finest musicians in Rio de Janeiro.
