"7 Lives" is the debut album of Brazilian-born and New York based artist Mauricio Zottarelli. A critically acclaimed and award winning drummer-percussionist for over 15 years, Mauricio has performed with some of the most preeminent artists in Jazz, Latin, Brazilian and Fusion music. On this new project, Mauricio leads a 5-star ensemble on music that crosses over many of his favorite styles and influences. Most of the music is written by Mauricio, and some of the covers include an interesting twist on the song "Pinocchio" by Wayne Shorter, as well as songs by the three pianists on the record: Oriente Lopez, Dom Salvador and Cidinho Teixeira.
