As For the Future is a Brazilian music-inspired group based in NYC, started by singer/guitarist David Nagler (Tape Hiss, Nova Social). Drawing on a variety of styles – bossa nova, samba, MPB (Música popular brasileira) – and combining them with rock, jazz, folk, and soul influences, the group mates their distinctive sound with vibrant original lyrics. Taking their name from a novel by the great Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector, As For the Future is an eclectic musical experience that embodies exploration and discovery, and never looks back.
Ryan Keberle's Collectiv do Brasil After falling in love with Brazil and its beautifully sophisticated songwriting traditions through the music of Ivan Lins, Milton Nascimento, Toninho Horta, and Edu Lobo, among others, composer/trombonist Ryan Keberle formed Collectiv do Brasil to create music that transcends genres, cultures, traditions, and categories while highlighting the universal beauty of the afro-centric roots of both jazz and Brazilian music.
