Breno and Neusa Sauer moved from Brasil to Mexico in the 60s and then to Chicago in the 80s and formed Som Brasil in 1985. They began working at the Jazz Bulls, the Green Mill and many other clubs hiring such great local musicians like Ron Dewar, Kelly Sill, Akio Sasajima, Paulinho Garcia, Phil Gratteau, Dede Sempaio, Geraldo de Oliveira, Peter O’Neil, Luiz Ewerling, etc. Breno’s unique playing and arranging style alongside Neusa’s exemplary vocal talents plus the addition of Chicago’s great jazz talent gave the band a special sound.

We are creating this new band to not only pay homage to Breno’s unique style but to add to it. We are so happy and honored to work with one of the founding members of the original band – the dynamic vocalist Neusa Sauer – as well as two former full time members – Luiz Ewerling and Peter O’Neil (who now lives in Rio de Janeiro).
