We’re so proud to congratulate Cassio Vianna on his Latin Grammy nomination for his big band chart “Flight 962”! 🎉✨
“Flight 962” has such a beautiful story behind it. Cassio wrote the original tune in 2019 to mark his 10th year living in the U.S., inspired by the long journey from Brazil and everything that came with it — the excitement, the uncertainty, the possibilities. During the pandemic, he expanded it into a full big band arrangement (all 224 measures of it!), and the piece premiered at the 2022 JEN Conference in Dallas… the very city connected to the real Flight 962. ✈️🇧🇷
We’re honored to have this chart in the iJazzMusic catalog, and grateful that so many ensembles can discover and perform it around the world.
Congratulations again, Cassio — what an achievement! 💛🎶
