A brilliant singer-songwriter who combines Brazilian popular music with jazz, rock and pop, Djavan is also one of his country's composers most admired by musicians and jazz aficionados. The Manhattan Transfer, Carmen McRae, Al Jarreau or Toots Thielemans, to name just a few, have covered his songs.
His collaborations with prestigious artists such as Quincy Jones, Paco de Lucía, Stevie Wonder, Marcus Miller or Lee Ritenour are historic.
With his album "D", number 25 of those recorded in the studio, still recent, and a brilliant career spanning many decades behind him that places him as a giant of Brazilian music, admired throughout the world, Djavan offers us a dream opening to the 25th edition of Jazz San Javier.
