Here with the 'After Bossa-Nova' project, Rogerio leads a stellar quartet through some of the lesser-known pieces by the greatest among the post-Bossa Nova generation of composers, such as Toninho Horta, Egberto Gismonti, Milton Nascinento, Edu Lobo. This group gives these songs a unique treatment, infused with improvisation. The idea revolves around openness and interaction, using the motifs of each song as a springboard for instant group compositions. It is a fresh and ever-changing approach to Post-Bossa Nova music.

Their special guest will be Switzerland-based poet and physicist Anja Konig who will read her minimal and sharply evocative poetry.

'The poetic voice of Cheryl Moskowitz resonates with intimacy; it is tender, as well as vivid... subtle and quite particular. Her voice is uniquely clear - more universal than Jewish, more worldly than American...' (Judith Robinson, Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle). Cheryl is a US born prize-winning poet, translator and novelist who lives in the UK. Her poems have been published in several literary journals including UK publications Poetry Review, Magma, and Artemis and US magazines Drunken Boat and World Literature Today. Her debut collection The Girl is Smiling was published by Circle Time Press in 2012.

Alastair Gavin is a pianist and composer based in London, UK. He is currently assistant musical director for the London production of Mamma Mia! and also works as an orchestral arranger and dance and theatre composer. He was recently featured keyboardist in a large scale staging of Frank Zappa's 200 Motels performed at the Royal Festival Hall and broadcast on BBC Radio.

Anja Konig was raised in the German language and now writes in English. Anja’s work has appeared in magazines in the US and the UK including Washington Square Review and Manhattan Review here in the city. Her first pamphlet "Advice for an Only Child" will be published by Flipped Eye Publishing in the UK later this year. Anja is a physicist by training. She currently lives in Zurich but New York City is her one true love.

" A talent to watch, with a surfeit of ideas, an unbridled spirit and bold, two-fisted sense of Architecture" -(Down Beat magazine 2011)- Pianist and composer Alon Nechushtan will be bringing to Cornelia Street Cafe a Quartet of fantastic improvisers with "a loose-tight chemistry placing a premium on group interplay and at the same time encouraging individual solo expression, playing music from the upcoming album Venture Bound" --Bill Milkowski

Formed in 2009, The Rob Garcia 4 is a working group "among the vanguard of modern jazz" (NYC Jazz Record). They have performed at such important venues as Smalls Jazz Club, The Iridium, Kitano, Cornelia Street Cafe, Firehouse 12, Brooklyn Jazz Wide Open, The Rex, The Toronto Jazz Festival, The Kingston Jazz Festival (Canada) and the Ottawa International Jazz Festival. On June 19th they will be celebrating and perform music from their 3rd release on Brooklyn Jazz Underground Records called "The Passion Of Color". It features music inspired by impressionist paintings, impressionist music and the passion that is evoked from all the different colors and flavors of life. The music is loose and tight at the same time. Rhythms that create the illusion of a fluctuating tempo or no tempo while tightly orchestrated musical events happen in tandem. Strong melodies supported by pastoral harmonies and flowing rhythm lead the listener through the music.

“Thoughtful original music delivered with rare conviction.” - Jazz Times
