Luiz Eb.

Luiz , drummer and percussionist native of Brasília, Brasil, has been able to develop a unique blend of drumming vocabulary within percussive sensitivity. Combining the inventiveness and adventurous concepts of jazz music with traditional elements of Brazilian music allows for a unique sonic palette that propels music in different directions, either when playing drum set groves in Brazilian Pandeiro or Peruvian Cajón, or when working as a drummer applying percussion concepts and sound adaptations to the drums.

Luiz holds both CUM LAUDE Bachelors in Fine arts degree at the City College of New York studying under John Pattittucci and Adam Cruz, and a M.A in Jazz Performance from Aaron Copeland School of Music at Queens College CUNY, where he studied under the tutelage of prestigious music educators Michael Phillip Mossman, Antonio Hart, David Berkman and JABALI Billy Hart. Parallel to his pristine jazz education, Mr. Luiz worked performed alongside an array of young promising jazz artists (Matt Miller, Ryan Brennan, Kyla Roscovich, Matt Turowsky and Chris Talio,to name a few),as well as leading his own ensemble jazz ensemble E.B.E.R.T ,and co -leading NYChoro ,an ensemble that combines the intricacies of both North American Jazz music and Brazilian chamber music of Choro.

Luiz is currently involved with jazz education, teaching privately, and working with some of the greatest Brazilian musicians in New York scene, including Cidinho Teixeira, Leco Reis, Rodrigo Ursaia, Monika Oliveira, Billy Newman and Livio Almeida.
