Emy Tseng, Brazilian Jazz Talent

She’s strictly business by day at the U.S. Department of Commerce, but she sways so gently by night. D.C. resident Emy Tseng, getting raves at local clubs, released her debut album of Brazilian jazz music in February. Tseng moved here from the Bay Area in 2009 for serious work “lessening the digital divide in underserved communities.” She was pleasantly surprised to discover a Brazilian jazz community, whose members encouraged her to make her album, “Sonho,” which means “Dream” in Portuguese. She returns to California for shows this month, but will be appearing again locally later in the spring. Check www.emytseng.com for info.
