Ivan Lins, Composer/singer
Part 1
I so enjoyed chatting with the Brazilian composer Ivan Lins. An affable man whose wit and charm are equal to his prodigious musical talent, Ivan shared his thoughts about song writing and storytelling with me, even demonstrating an idea on the piano in his dressing room.
Ivan Lins is a successful and well respected musician in Brazilian popular music and jazz. His compositions have been recorded by a notable and diverse group of artists from Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald to George Benson, Patti Austin and David Benoit. Lins is the composer of several classic standards, including Love Dance, The Island and Velas Icadas.
