Abril.com: How to travel with the boys of the Jonas Brothers?
Miguel Gandelman: They are very young. Around them is always business, the father, the entrepreneur, but the guys are still young. So they need to be next to young people. They are always there with us, always playing ping pong, playing baseball, and always go together.

Had worked with some phenomenon like them?
Never worked with an artist of adolescent phenomenon. Be Menudo, Backstreet Boys. I played with Diana Ross, Sting, Michael Jackson. I played with people who were not the phenomenon that the person is bigger than music, where children scream and fly overhead.

Must be the whole show like that?
Is a scream, and the funny thing is that it is unbelievable. Was playing on stage and that necking of people wanting to get on top of you, a girl came and untied my shoe. The other day one came and took my glasses. It is an unbelievable deal, one shouting. Are the boys in turn are with Disney behind them. We went to Brazil and played pra 60 thousand people. For me as a Brazilian was unbelievable, everyone sang song by song.

And as they are as musicians? Nick is the most talented right?
They are all very talented. The oldest [Kevin] plays guitar, the middle [Joe] sings very well and Nick is the master of the situation. They are very talented people which respect the work of music and the time it takes pra invest in music. They are very professional. Nick, I could say, is music director of the situation, but they are very talented boys. Their father is a musician too, was a minister, singer and pianist.

How long will you still going to play with the Jonas Brothers?
We go in September, because they will make a movie. We have already received a proposal from Quincy Jones, who just turned 50-year career.
