BRAZILIAN EXPERIENCE is the international brazilian jazz project of the vibraphonist Florian Poser. In this group he rallyed round some of the best musicians of the New York brazilian jazz scene. Because of this burning high-class Latin jazz concerts are guaranteed with this group!
Florian Poser caused a sensation with BRAZILIAN EXPERIENCEs first CD release »QUESTIONS & ANSWERS« [Acoustic Music Records] and two very successful tours through Germany. The CD and the tours lead to enthusiastic reactions by the public as well as the music press.
On the following two tours in 2004 and 2005 the group presented its second CD »NEW ADVENTURES« [also AMR], which was recorded in March 2004 in New York City.
The upcoming tour will take place in Sept./Oct. 2006. Be sure that Florian Poser's BRAZILIAN EXPERIENCE will again burn up the clubs, because this group brings together the current créme de la créme of the New York Brazilian jazz scene:
PORTINHO - drums [Brazil]
is widely considered the reigning master of Brazilian jazz drumming. Born in Brazil, he moved to the States many years ago where his style has since come to influence virtually every drummer wanting to learn about Brazilian music and rhythms. He has played and recorded with GATO BARBIERI, HARRY BELAFONTE, PAQUITO D'RIVERA, TANIA MARIA, CLAUDIO RODITI, JOÃO GILBERTO and the »girl from Ipanemea« herself ASTRUD GILBERTO, to name but a few.

GUSTAVO BERGALLI - trumpet [Argentina]
was born in Buenos Aires. He established himself as a leading voice of the younger generation in South America, touring and recording extensively with the most outstanding groups and soloists on that continent. His trumpet playing has been featured in the groups of GATO BARBIERI and he has also performed with the MICHEL LEGRAND ORCHESTRA, to name a few. In 1975 he emigrated to Stockholm (Sweden) where he established himself as one of the very top musicians on his instrument. He played with the SWEDISH RADIO JAZZ GROUP and the STOCKHOLM JAZZ ORCHESTRA with guests like BOB BROOKMEYER, BOB MINTZER, JOE LOVANO, PHIL WOODS, MARIA SCHNEIDER and JOHN SCOFIELD. He has also toured all over Europe with KLAUS IGNATZEK, CLAUDIO RODITI and many others.
KLAUS MUELLER - piano [New York]

The next and current station is New York where he continued his studies at the »New School of Jazz and Contemporary Music«. He quickly became a favored sideman, especially in the Brazilian jazz scene, which brought him to musical collaborations with big names of this genre like CLAUDIO RODITI, JAY ASHBY, PAULO BRAGA, SERGIO BRANDAO or TANIA MARIA (guest appearance). A current highlight of his career is his collaboration with drummer PORTINHO – living legend of Brazilian jazz drumming – in his »CADENCE«-Trio. Furthermore, he worked with artists such as KENNY GARRETT & the NEW JERSEY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, JOAN OSBORNE and St. GERMAIN. In addition he also worked as an orchestral arranger for jazz piano legend HERBIE HANCOCK in 2003, arranging music for the »Gershwin's World« project, which was performed by HERBIE HANCOCK & the »CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA« and other orchestras across the world.
