“Precise, yet fluid, funky grooves ... a tightly locked momentum compelled by one tiny, yet mighty, drum.”

"The creative freedom this trio displays while shifting between jazz and Brazilian music is amazing." 
— Folha de São Paulo


With his "Pandeiro Jazz" project Scott Feiner has expanded the possibilities and perception of the Brazilian pandeiro worldwide - an instrument not normally spoken of in the same context with American music.

Feiner has walked a fascinating road from the jazz world of Manhattan to the nightlife of Rio de Janeiro. Born in New York City, and formally a guitarist, Feiner received a Bachelor of Music degree in Jazz Studies/Guitar at the Hartt School of Music in Hartford, Connecticut, where he studied with the legendary saxophonist Jackie McLean. During the early '90s he was a respected guitarist on the New York jazz scene, leading groups two nights a week at Augie's (now Smoke), the world-renowned club in Manhattan known as a meeting place for New York City's best young jazz musicians. The long list of outstanding players who performed with Feiner during that time included the pianists Brad Mehldau and Larry Goldings.

A View From Below, Feiner's fourth recording, was released independently in March 2104. It highlights his compositional skills even more so, as he penned all nine tracks on the album. It features a unique and exciting trio format with Rafael Vernet on Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer, and Guilherme Monteiro on electric guitar. This CD represents a sonic departure from Feiner's previous three recordings, as they were all acoustic in nature. Downbeat magazine gave A View From Below a 4-star review, and the respected Brazilian music critic Carlos Calado wrote in the Folha de São Paulo newspaper, "The creative freedom this trio displays while shifting between jazz and Brazilian music is amazing."
