Shes a trombonist, vocalist and songwriter from San Francisco. Hes a composer, guitarist, and singer from Brasilia. Together theyve honed a singularly expansive creative communion encompassing their love of the Brazilian songbook, jazz, Impressionism and sophisticated pop songcraft.Their original material features lyrics in Portuguese, French and English set to music drawing from a vast stylistic spectrum. With sumptuous two-part vocal harmonies hugging Brazilian-accented Portuguese accompanied by trombone and acoustic guitar, Cressman and Faquinis richly orchestrated sound seems to emanate from a much larger ensemble. The duos first two albums together have fueled the rapidly growing recognition of their gorgeous sound, including a finalist nomination for Duo of The Year by the Jazz Journalists Association in 2023. Both 2019s Setting Rays of Summer and 2022s Auburn Whisper received critical praise and topped many best of lists in their respective years. Together Cressman and Faquini have played their music across the US in venues ranging from intimate house concerts to performing arts halls and jazz festival stages such as the Monterey Jazz Festival and the Jazz Aspen Snowmass. Theyve also toured internationally in Brazil, Japan, Portugal, Spain, and Italy.Notes on Seating: Jack London provides two options.
