The clarinetist appeared at Stanford Jazz Saturday night in her duo with the Brazilian seven-string guitarist Marcello Gonçalves. They've been playing together for quite some time, and their ease and rapport show through. Given the instrumentation, the overall flavor is choro, but ranges more widely. They played several arrangements of pieces by Moacir Santos, some Jobim, some Nascimento, and then to preview their latest project, some Bernstein. The music does not push the envelope, but is varied and lovely. Recommended.
