About this Event
A master pianist, composer, arranger, flutist, and player of a multitude of other instruments including the melodica and the accordion, Jovino Santos Neto is one of the top Brazilian musicians working today. Currently based in Seattle, Washington, he has throughout his career been closely affiliated with the Brazilian master Hermeto Pascoal. He was an integral part of Pascoal's group from 1977-1992 when he fine-tuned his artistry and co-produced several legendary records. His relationship with Hermeto continues as his mentor figures prominently in his recent recordings. Jovino is a three-time Latin Grammy nominee (2004, 2006 and 2009).
He has had his compositions performed by many ensembles, big bands and orchestras worldwide.
The trio will consist of Jovino Santos Neto on piano, melodica and flute, Kelsey Mines on bass, and Jeff Busch on drums and percussion.

"Beautiful Brazilian jazz from pianist Jovino Santos Neto -- playing here in a wonderfully fluid mode that sparkles with lots of warm acoustic touches! Neto's playing mostly piano for the session, but also brings in a bit of melodica, flute, and accordion -- further expanding the colors in the tunes, as do some of the album's great guest performers -- who include Joyce, Hermeto Pascoal, Hamilton De Holanda, and Marcos Amorim! There's a sense of grace here that's totally great -- one that really recalls an older sound of Brazilian jazz back at the end of the 70s, and which is recorded here without the overly glossy production style that sometimes hurts other albums of this nature."
