Zé Nogueira

Zé Nogueira is constantly referred to as the only Brazilian musician exclusively dedicated to the soprano sax. But he's also skilled at keyboard and flute. Zé debuted in 1975, playing the sax on Chico Buarque's play "A Gota d'Água". He was a back-up musician for years and also a member of the groups Banda Zil and Usina. As a musical producer, he has worked with Djavan, Victor Biglione, Leny Andrade and Ney Matogrosso. He has played festivals in Vandero (Cuba), Montreux (Switzerland), New York and Japan. After pursuing the career for 20 years, he recorded his first solo album, "Disfarça e Chora", in 1995.
