About
With the release of her critically acclaimed debut recording Sonho (meaning "Dream" in Portuguese), DC-based singer Emy Tseng establishes herself as a foremost interpreter of modern and Brazilian jazz.
"Sonho marks both her recording debut and as one to watch in the Brazilian jazz category." Dan Bilawsky, All About Jazz
"Tseng's voice is as delicate as the breeze." Marc Myers, JazzWax
"fine rhythm, impressive grasp of harmony and a clear, attractive voice," Michael West, Washington Post
Emy sings in both Portuguese and English and is known for her music's relaxed vibe and sweet, wistful qualities. In NY ten years ago, she first heard the singers Luciana Souza and Paula Morelenbaum, fell in love with Brazilian music and decided to pursue it further. She subsequently studied with pianist Marcos Silva (Flora Purim & Airto) at the Jazz School in Berkeley, CA and bassist Nilson Matta (Trio da Paz, Yo-Yo Ma, Joe Henderson)...
