Ivan LinsIvan Guimares Lins (b. June 6, 1945) is a Brazilian musician. He has been an active performer and songwriter of Brazilian popular music (MPB) and jazz for over 30 years. His first hit, Madalena, was recorded by Elis Regina in 1970. Testifying to Lins' importance as a composer is the frequency with which tribute albums and new covers of his compositions appear. His jazz classics have been recorded by many notable international artists including Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Quincy Jones, George Benson, The Manhattan Transfer, Dianne Schuur, Carmen McRae, Nancy Wilson, Eliane Elias, Patti Austin, Toots Thielmans, Take Six, Lee Ritenour, David Benoit, Mark Murphy, Dave Grusin, Sergio Mendes, and countless others. Life Ivan Lins was born in Rio de Janeiro and studied there at the Military College. He later received a degree in industrial chemical engineering from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. He considered a career in volleyball before discovering his considerable musical talent. Work Ivan Lins has released albums regularly and even penned several standards, such as Love Dance, Comecar de Novo (the English version being The Island, with lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman), and Velas Iadas, that have made their way north into the American jazz lexicon. Lins also composed the soundtrack for the Brazilian film Dois Crregos. Mention should be made of Lins' longtime composing partner, Vitor Martins. Their songs typically feature lush harmony with a distinctive jazz sensibility. One signature voicing he often employs in his own performances is the delayed addition of a #11 to a sus13 chord, or the delayed addition of a b9 to a sus13 chord. Lins maintains an active touring schedule, including a 2003 appearance at the Blue Note in New York City. Discography - Agora (1970)
