Introducing Saudade, a Baltimore-based Brazilian Samba Jazz band bringing the rhythm, groove, and warmth of Brazil to the Charm City. In Brazil, saudade means a deep emotional mix of longing, love, and nostalgia for something beautiful that lingers in your heart. That’s exactly what we aim to capture in our music. Curated by lead drummer Claudio Silva, whose music blends Brazilian and Dominican influences, the band plays a soulful mix of samba jazz that’s joyful and rhythmic.
Drummer Claudio Silva has always had roots in Dominican and Brazilian music, starting drum lessons at the age of 7. He has fervently studied and been inspired by icons from Baby Dodds and Jo Jones, to Max Roach and Greg Hutchinson, to Elvin Jones and Brian Blade. During his time at Peabody Conservatory, he played with Sean Jones, Warren Wolf, Russell Hall, Miki Yamanaka, Michela Lerman, Emmet Cohen, Brinae Ali, Marcus Strickland, Jason Marsalis, among others. Claudio has been recognized and awarded by the Youngarts Foundation, Downbeat Jazz Magazine and Herbie Hancock Institute National Peer-to-Peer Jazz.

<blockquote>“Strong and flexible, with a velvety texture and immaculately rounded tones complemented by impeccable enunciation” – New York Times</blockquote>
Patti Austin is a GRAMMY® Award-winning R&amp;B, pop and jazz singer and songwriter. Austin has collaborated with the likes of James Ingram, Steely Dan and Quincy Jones. She made her debut at the Apollo Theater at age four and had a contract with RCA Records when she was only five. Quincy Jones and Dinah Washington have proclaimed themselves as her godparents. She charted over twenty R&amp;B songs, and hit number one in 1981 with “Do You Love Me?” / “The Genie”. The album containing that hit, Every Home Should Have One, also produced her biggest mainstream hit, “Baby, Come To Me,” a duet with James Ingram. She would later team up again with Ingram for “How Do You Keep The Music Playing”. She's also acquired an honorary doctorate from the Berklee College of Music.

In addition to being a music instructor, he was and is a practicing professional musician having played behind and with Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Sammy Davis Jr., Gladys Knight, The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Dells, Clark terry, Dizzy Gillespie, The Morgan State university Concert &amp; Jazz Bands and The Howard University Jazz Ensemble.
