Brazz Jazz: The Sheryl Cohen & Rubens de La Corte Duo is an exciting Vocal/Guitar duo performing mainstream Jazz and Brazilian styles including Bossa Nova and Samba.
Sheryl Cohen and Rubens de La Corte formed Brazz Jazz two years ago while students at The Berklee College of Music in Boston. The original concept of this unique duo was to combine the Standard, American jazz repertoire with the rhythms of Brazilian music. Through the years, Brazz Jazz has remained true to its goal.
During this time, the duo has performed extensively in and around the Boston area in local clubs, restaurants and music stores. In addition, they have performed live, in studio on 88.1 WERS, the Emerson College Radio Station.
Brazz Jazz can be heard every Friday night at The Mid-West Grill in Cambridge. Brazz Jazz also perform monthly at The Bella Luna Restaurant in Jamaica Plain and The Charles Playhouse in Boston's Theatre District. Sheryl Cohen is originally from San Francisco, California. Prior to studying music at The Berklee College of Music, Ms. Cohen received a Bachelors Degree in Literature from The California State University at Long Beach. In addition to performing in the Duo, Ms. Cohen is the vocalist/arranger in a Boston based jazz quintet.
Rubens de La Corte is from Sao Paulo, Brazil. He has played acoustic and electric guitar professionally since the age of sixteen. In addition to performing and composing Rubens de La Corte has also taught guitar and music theory privately and at The Ulisses Rocha School of Music in Brazil. In 1993 Mr. De La Corte received a Berklee Entering Student Talent Scholarship and is now studying Jazz Composition/Performance at Berklee.
