Following a 15-year immersion into the vivid, kaleidoscopic world of the legendary Hermeto Pascoal's Group, pianist Jovino Santos Neto made his way from Rio de Janeiro to Seattle in 1993 to set up shop at the Cornish College of the Arts, a thriving incubator of eclectic creativity since the early 1900s. Within weeks he was initiating Seattle musicians into his unique blend of Brazilian, classical and jazz, and quickly formed a group with fellow faculty members to workshop his non-stop output of new compositions. This live recording captures the very first public performance of his now 30-year-old Quarteto, featuring Jovino's compositions unveiled to an enthusiastic crowd at Seattle's historic Kerry Hall on April 28, 1995. With Hans Teuber on saxophones and flute, Mark Ivester on drums and Chuck Deardorf on bass, the evening marks the beginning of a love affair between the city and the abundant force of Pascoal's legacy through his apprentice's exhilarating musical presence. Jovino discovered the tapes from the concert recently and saw the release of them as a fitting and loving tribute to Chuck Deardorf, who was a pivotal member of the ensemble until his passing in 2022. "Everything Santos Neto plays feels like an affirmation of life, creativity and love." Dora Stoutzker Hall, Cardiff, Seen and Heard International. "A brilliant and intuitive keyboard player and flutist who explores jazz, classical and Brazilian traditional music with equal zeal" - Seattle Times
