RIO DE JANEIRO – Brazilian jazz great and Latin Grammy winner Paulo Moura has died after a fight against cancer.
The 77-year-old clarinet player was famed for his versatility as well as his virtuosity and he ranged across Brazilian folk music, jazz and classical orchestral music. He won a Latin Grammy in 2000 for the best Brazilian roots album and was nominated but did not win in 2004 for best Latin instrumental album.
In 1962, he played with Sergio Mendes' group at the historic Bossa Nova night at Carnegie Hall that helped launched the genre's mass appeal. Moura was considered by many critics to be one of Brazil's greatest instrumentalists.
