Romantic Bossa-Nova — Private Holiday Concert Feat. Dave Pell

On December 3, 2016, Kaylene Peoples presents Romantic Bossa-Nova in a private holiday concert setting in Altadena. Designed as an intimate seasonal performance, the evening blends Brazilian bossa nova with contemporary jazz, offering a warm and expressive program within a curated residential environment.

The ensemble features Bunny Brunel on bass, Joe Calderon on guitar, Bryan Cabrera on drums, Leon Bisquera on piano, and Pete Korpela on percussion, with special guest Chase Masterson contributing guest vocals. Presented at “The Mouse House,” the performance reflects a refined and personal approach to live music—combining lyrical phrasing, rhythmic nuance, and a relaxed holiday atmosphere.

As an early presentation of the Romantic Bossa-Nova concept, the concert captures the foundation of a project that would continue to evolve, blending musical sophistication with intimate audience engagement in a uniquely immersive setting.
