There’s no shortage of Brazilian jazz made by homegrown favorites, and the scene gets a visitor from Belo Horizonte when one of the country’s best young guitarists sits in with St. Pete’s own O Som Do Jazz.

It’s been about a year since Tabajara Belo released his solo album, ‘72, and three years since he and O Som last teamed up for St. Pete’s Latin Jazz Fest.

Tickets to see Tabajara Belo play Side Door Cabaret at Palladium Theater in St. Petersburg are still available and start at $25.
