Full program notes

Hello! We are Mimi Berkova and Luis McDougal, a duo project which explores jazz repertoire along with music from the Caribbean, South America, and Eastern Europe with our sensuous touch. We also perform original music that is largely informed by these influences, and integrates them into the 21st century.

Historical context

We play music from the Great American Songbook, along with songs from Brazil, Argentina, and ancient songs from Bulgaria. Everything we do involves improvisation, a practice rooted in centuries of music-making and responsible for evolving the music itself.
