Amanda Ruzza, This is What Happened

Amanda Ruzza -][- This is What Happened –MP3– [Amanda Ruzza, 2012 | Review] –

When new music crosses my path one of the first things I do besides listen is checkout the liner notes to see the track titles, song length and if there is anyone that I’m familiar with playing on the recording. “This is What Happen” is the sophomore album by electric bassist Amanda Ruzza born in São Paulo, Brazil enlisted a stellar cast of musicians which includes: Mauricio Zottarelli (drums and percussion), Alex Nolan (electric and acoustic guitars), Mamiko Watanabe (Rhodes), Cliff Korman (piano), Lucas Pino (tenor and soprano saxophones), Chris Stover (trombone) and David Binney (alto sax).

[Biography] Drummer/Composer Mauricio Zottarelli has been on the forefront of the Jazz, Latin and Brazilian music scenes for quite some time. Coming from a musical family, Mauricio was born in Santos, SP, Brazil, but grew up in Rio Claro, SP, in a highly musical environment, and it was just a matter of time before he chose a career in music— or as he puts it, music chose him.

His first few years as a professional musician consisted of many performances throughout his native country with different Brazilian groups and artists, as well as studio and session work. At the same time, he pursued a degree in Computer Science, and concluded his studies in 1997.
