Jovino Santos Neto
Roda Carioca
(2006)
Jovino is a true Master of the Piano and
Flute, a Master in composition, a Master in arrangements, a true Master at
performing and the adjectives could go on and on, but all it'd take is for you
to purchase this masterpiece and experience it for yourself. This is without a
doubt one of the best Brazilian Jazz CDs of this 2006. --an Amazon reviewer

Canto Do Rio
(2003)
A truly gorgeous CD. All Jovino's
compositions, with an obvious hint of Hermeto Pascoal, with whom Jovino played
piano for many years. The musicianship is impeccable, but the stars are the
compositions. Very Brasilian with a Seattle twist. --an Amazon reviewer
Serenata
with Mike Marshall
(2003)
More Mike Marshall
The premise here is an interesting one: versatile American mandolinist Mike Marshall (whose roots are in bluegrass) and Brazilian pianist Jovino Santos Neto (who is a Hermeto Pascoal disciple) team up with an occasional guest for an album that surveys 13 of Hermeto Pascoal's 2500 compositions. Giving the official stamp of approval, Pascoal himself is on hand to play on a few of the tunes. But whereas the composer's own performances can be quite playful and even chaotic, Marshall and Neto find a more romantic, somber and harmonically rich vein in the master's Brazilian jazz pantheon while touching on Western classical (particularly the title cut) and other Latin styles. That it seamless blends together is tribute to the top-shelf musicianship of the two principals. The production quality is excellent as well, capturing the delicate timbre of the acoustic instruments and allowing the listener to savor each note of this exquisite music as if sipping from a glass of fine wine. --Tad Hendrickson
Balaio
with Richard Boukas
(2001)
Richard Boukas, the great American performer
and teacher, teams up with Jovino Santos Neto, long a fixture in Hermeto's band,
for a collection of wonderful Brazilian music. Boukas's guitar and vocals are
stellar throughout and Jovino's keyboard work is fantastic. A must for lovers of
Brazilian music. -- an Amazon reviewer
Caboclo
(2001)
Ao Vivo Em Olympia
(Live In Olympia)
(2000)
Total Reflex
with Joyce Yarrow
(2000)
This new recording contains a wonderful spirit and openness, expressing the collaboration of Joyce Yarrow's vocals and lyrics with Jovino Neto's tastful keyboards, flute playing, composing and arranging skills. The support from the other musicians (bass/drums/saxophone) is equally sympathetic, creating an enjoyable set of original, fresh sounding music. -- an Amazon reviewer
