When it comes to world music, many Americans tend to think the music of a particular country all has a similar vibe, forgetting that different regions of the U.S. gave rise to very distinct genres. Brazilian born, Seattle based composer and keyboardist Jovino Santos Neto offers a tremendous education on the rousing and bright, densely percussive, accordion-laced and highly danceable music found in the Northeast part of his native land. His colorful liner notes qualify his interest as one rooted in the fact that he's a Rio-born grandson of "Nordestinos" and informs us that a generous grant allowed him and his wife Luzia to take an 800 mile journey to the heart of the region. Composing new songs and remaking older ones he had written that fit perfectly into the project's theme, the versatile musician (who, in addition to piano, plays melodica, fifes, and flute) creates a fascinating musical interpretation of the beautiful landscapes (the lyrical and graceful "Fulo Sertaneja"); the mythological importance of the ox (the strutting, sax driven "Donkey Xote"); the creativity, humor, accent and hospitality of the people (the celebratory, accordion-jumping "Festa Na Macuca"), and the coexistence of the medieval themes within the visionary and fantastic realism of the cordei literature sold at street markets. There are also a few cool odes to the way the grape made the couple feel: the lilting, lighthearted "Amoreira" (which translates to "Raspberry Vine") and the punchy, sax-driven jazz jam "Forro Vino." The music was recorded in Rio with a handful of great Brazilian musicians, and caps all of the celebrating Santos Neto no doubt did after receiving his Latin Grammy nominations in 2004 and 2006. This is a fascinating exploration that's both musically joyous and richly illuminating.

The barriers between classical music, jazz, and indigenous Brazilian music have been obscured through the playing of Rio de Janeiro-born and Seattle-based pianist, keyboardist, and flutist Jovino Santos Neto. A member of Hermeto Pascoal's band from 1977 to 1992, Neto continued to expand on his world music-influenced vocabulary. He built on his knowledge of Brazilian music during stints with Sergio Mendes in 1992 and Airto Moreira and Flora Purim's group, Fourth World, from 1993 until 1997. He also worked with such artists as Mike Marshall, Jill Russell, and the Jesse Stern Group, and recorded several albums with Gary Stroutsos, including the Native American-influenced People of the Willows. In 1994, he toured Europe with Swiss cellist David Pezzoti. Neto's 1997 debut solo album, Caboclo, featuring the accompaniment of his quartet members bassist Chuck Deardorf, saxophonist Hans Teuber, and drummer Mark Ivester (and guest percussionist Moreira), was followed by Ao Vivo em Olympia in 2000.
"I believe in the power of music and in its role as a tool for transformation," Neto said during a late-'90s interview. "With every note I write or play I imagine how that note will touch someone somewhere and that energy will go around the world and return to me as an inspiration to play even more. I see myself as a link in a chain that started a long time ago, and it is my mission as a musician to keep that chain growing and evolving forever."
Studying classical piano from the age of 12, Neto moved to Beatles and Rolling Stones-influenced pop by his 15th birthday. While exposure to bands such as Yes and Emerson, Lake & Palmer was reflected in the increased complexity of his music, he began to focus on jazz while studying biology at McGill University in Montreal. Invited to tour Brazil with Pascoal in 1977, Neto remained an important part of the Brazilian multi-instrumentalist's band for 15 years, co-producing six albums, including Festa dos Deuses, which received a Sharp Prize as Best Instrumental Album in 1992, and scoring hundreds of Pascoal's compositions. Relocating to the United States in 1993 after performing on Sergio Mendes' Grammy award-winning world music album, Brasileiro, Neto studied at the Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle. He continues to teach classes at the school in piano, composition, and jazz ensemble.
Neto remains involved with a diverse range of projects as well. In 2000, he wrote "Os Vagalumes" for the chamber music group Musicians Accord, released albums with vocalist Joyce Yarrow and violinist Richard Boukas, and produced and played keyboards on Jill Russell's album Check the Beans. In addition to conducting the Shorecrest Symphony Orchestra, he has composed MIDI music for numerous multimedia projects.
