Jovino Santos Neto Quarteto
Three-time Latin Grammy nominee Jovino Santos Neto, a master pianist, composer and arranger, is one of the most distinguished 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 to1992, where he fine-tuned his artistry, performing around the world and co-producing several legendary records.
Gyan Riley + Duo Probosci
An album release show!
Duo Probosci is a collaboration between guitarist Gyan Riley and violinist Timba Harris. Both composers, whose work is featured in John Zorn’s Tzadik Records Composers’ Series, contribute to the interplay between composition and improvisation, steeped with intricacy, subtlety, and shape-shifting energy. They adventurously explore the sonic landscape, from purely acoustic music to unfamiliar electroacoustic textures.
Gyan Riley’s diverse work focuses on his own compositions, improvisation, and contemporary classical repertoire. He has performed with an illustrious list, from the likes of Lou Reed, to the Kronos Quartet, to the San Francisco Symphony. Gyan resides in New York City and frequently performs with his father, composer/pianist/vocalist Terry Riley. Terry and Gyan recently scored a new film, The Red Violin, which was selected for Best Foreign Language Film category at the 2018 Oscars. Gyan has four solo CD titles and many ensemble/collaborative recordings. His fifth solo album, Sprig, was released in March 2018 on the National Sawdust Tracks label.
