    Try Hendrik Meurkens if you want someone who can REALLY play. 
Although German, he grew up in Brasil. Now lives in N.Y. (also plays 
vibes)..smokey

Actually, he grew up in Germany with Dutch parents, moved to Brazil 
and married a Brazilian woman, then moved to New York because it was 
the center of jazz. He's recorded a couple of all-Brazilian albums, 
but the rest of his fairly prolific output has ranged across the 
entire face of jazz.

There are a few other Brazilian players in the jazz area but I'm not 
recalling names- I'll do some digging when I have the time and report 
back.
