Ivan Sacerdote is a clarinetist from Salvador, Bahia, a practitioner of "choro" (a Brazilian music style somewhat analogous to jazz in the United States).
Clarinetist Ivan Sacerdote began his studies at the age of 12. In 2003, at the age of 16, he started studying with Professor Pedro Robatto at the State School Deputado Manoel Novaes.
In 2005, he enrolled in the Bachelor's degree program in Instrument at the Federal University of Bahia under the guidance of the same professor. He participated in courses and workshops throughout Brazil with renowned teachers such as Paulo Sérgio Santos (RJ), Luis Afonso Montanha (SP), Edmilson Nery (SP), Jorge Montilla (Venezuela), André Kerver (Netherlands), Fernando Silveira (RJ), Ricardo Freire (Brasília), Joel Barbosa (SP), and Jose Luis Estellés (Spain).
He was a soloist with the UFBA Symphony Orchestra in 2006 and the Bahia Symphony Orchestra in 2007. He performed as a guest with the Sergipe Orchestra, the USP Chamber Orchestra, and the Bahia Symphony Orchestra. In the same year, he was awarded at the Young Soloists Competition of the Brasília Winter Festival, with a solo recital prize at the Villa Lobos Hall.
He worked in the NEOJIBA Project (State Centers for Youth and Children Orchestras of Bahia) as a founding monitor and section leader. In 2008, he was a clarinetist at the VI ENCUN (National Meeting of University Composers) as a resident clarinetist. Once again, he performed as a soloist with the UFBA Symphony Orchestra. In 2009, he participated in the recording of the contemporary music album OCA (Composition Workshop Now).
He spent two years in Spain studying and participating in Jazz and Brazilian Music groups, performing in various European countries. He returned to Brazil in 2011, resuming his musical work by joining the renowned choro group Os Ingênuos and participating in recordings and performances with artists such as Armandinho Macedo, Jurandir Santana, Gabriel Grossi, among others.
He also formed his own instrumental group. In July 2012, he performed at the Teatro Castro Alves as a guest soloist for singer Rosa Passos, sharing the stage and later being invited as a musician for her group's album recording and subsequent tour, visiting various Brazilian capitals and playing at Jazz festivals in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Buenos Aires.

Few people know that the Bay of All Saints was final port-of-call for more enslaved human beings than any other such throughout all of human history. And few people know the transcendence these people, and their descendents, wrought. That's where this Matrix begins...
Wolfram MathWorld
The idea is simple, powerful, and egalitarian: To propagate for them, the Matrix must propagate for all. Most in the world are within six degrees of us. The concept of a "small world" network (see Wolfram above) applies here, placing artists from the Recôncavo and the sertão, from Salvador... from Brooklyn, Berlin and Mombassa... musicians, writers, filmmakers... clicks (recommendations) away from their peers all over the planet.
This Integrated Global Creative Economy (we invented the concept) uncoils from Brazil's sprawling Indigenous, African, Sephardic and then Ashkenazic, Arabic, European, Asian cultural matrix... expanding like the canopy of a rainforest tree rooted in Bahia, branches spreading to embrace the entire world...

I opened the shop in Salvador, Bahia in 2005 in order to create an outlet to the wider world for magnificent Brazilian musicians.
David Dye & Kim Junod for NPR found us (above), and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (he's a huge jazz fan), David Byrne, Oscar Castro-Neves... Spike Lee walked past the place while I was sitting on the stoop across the street drinking beer and listening to samba from the speaker in the window...
But we weren't exactly easy for the world-at-large to get to. So in order to extend the place's ethos I transformed the site associated with it into a network wherein Brazilian musicians I knew would recommend other Brazilian musicians, who would recommend others...
And as I anticipated, the chalky hand of God-as-mathematician intervened: In human society — per the small-world phenomenon — most of the billions of us on earth are within some 6 or fewer degrees of each other. Likewise, within a network of interlinked artists as I've described above, most of these artists will in the same manner be at most a handful of steps away from each other.
So then, all that's necessary to put the Brazilians within possible purview of the wide wide world is to include them among a wide wide range of artists around that world.
If, for example, Quincy Jones is inside the matrix, then anybody on his page — whether they be accessing from a campus in L.A., a pub in Dublin, a shebeen in Cape Town, a tent in Mongolia — will be close, transitable steps away from Raymundo Sodré, even if they know nothing of Brazil and are unaware that Sodré sings/dances upon this planet. Sodré, having been knocked from the perch of fame and ground into anonymity by Brazil's dictatorship, has now the alternative of access to the world-at-large via recourse to the vast potential of network theory.
...to the degree that other artists et al — writers, researchers, filmmakers, painters, choreographers...everywhere — do also. Artificial intelligence not required. Real intelligence, yes.
Years ago in NYC (I've lived here in Brazil for 32 years now) I "rescued" unpaid royalties (performance & mechanical) for artists/composers including Barbra Streisand, Aretha Franklin, Mongo Santamaria, Jim Hall, Clement "Coxsone" Dodd (for his rights in Bob Marley compositions; Clement was Bob's first producer), Led Zeppelin, Ray Barretto, Philip Glass and many others. Aretha called me out of the blue vis-à-vis money owed by Atlantic Records. Allen Klein (managed The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Ray Charles) called about money due the estate of Sam Cooke. Jerry Ragovoy (Time Is On My Side, Piece of My Heart) called just to see if he had any unpaid money floating around out there (the royalty world was a shark-filled jungle, to mangle metaphors, and I doubt it's changed).
But the pertinent client (and friend) in the present context is Earl "Speedo" Carroll, of The Cadillacs. Earl went from doo-wopping on Harlem streetcorners to chart-topping success to working as a custodian at PS 87 elementary school on the west side of Manhattan. Through all of this he never lost what made him great.
Greatness and fame are too often conflated. The former should be accessible independently of the latter.
Yeah this is Bob's first record contract, made with Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd of Studio One and co-signed by his aunt because he was under 21. I took it to Black Rock to argue with CBS' lawyers about the royalties they didn't want to pay (they paid).
