Baden Powell's Canto De Ossanha is performed by University of Akron's Jazz Ensemble featuring Nestor Torres, Michael Spiro and Jack Schantz.

Torres, a Latin Grammy winner known for his sensual mix of Latin, jazz and pop, has been a favorite at two previous UA JazzFests.

Spiro, a five-time Grammy nominee, has performed with Carlos Santana, The Caribbean Jazz Project, and the UA Steel Drum Band. He has also composed for the Broadway production Blast!

Both Spiro and Torres are the Bittle Jazz Artists-in-Residence for UA JazzFest 2012. Now in its 10th year, the Bittle Jazz Residency Program was established by a gift to The University of Akron School of Music from Edward L. and Frances Yates Bittle.
