Live Bossa Nova Concert with Moises Borges and Ava Preston.

Dear Friends, thank you for your continuous support!

Have you ever wondered what happens when the soulful sounds of Brazilian Bossa Nova meet the spontaneity and excitement of jazz?

Come find out! ❤️

I'm excited to invite you to a special evening with the incredibly talented Ava Preston and myself at Market Avenue Wine Bar on Sunday, October 25th. And who knows? This might be our last show together in 2026!

It's a musical encounter between two worlds. Ava brings her beautiful English-language vocals and expressive jazz improvisations, while I bring the guitar, the rhythms of Brazil, and the timeless melodies of Bossa Nova, sung in my native Brazilian Portuguese.

Two voices, two musical worlds, and a little Brazilian romance. What could be better?

✨ Get to Know Ava Preston If you haven't heard Ava sing yet, you're in for a treat!

Ava is an award-winning jazz vocalist, songwriter, composer, and arranger whose musical journey has taken her from Cleveland to the prestigious stages of New York and beyond.

Her accomplishments speak for themselves. In 2026, she won the International Ella Fitzgerald Jazz Vocal Competition. She's also a 12-time DownBeat Student Music Award winner, was named Best Female Vocalist at the 2024 Cleveland Music Awards, and performed at the legendary Monterey Jazz Festival with the Next Generation Jazz Orchestra.

Ava recently earned her master's degree in jazz voice from The Juilliard School in New York City.

But beyond the awards and accolades, what makes Ava special is her voice, her musical sensitivity, and the way she brings a song to life. When her jazz sensibility meets the gentle sway of Bossa Nova, something truly beautiful happens.
