Jovino Santos Neto Quinteto + Chris Stover at The Royal Room

Three-time Latin Grammy nominee Jovino Santos Neto, a master pianist, composer and arranger, is among the top Brazilian musicians working today. Jovino’s personal style is a creative blend of energetic grooves, deep harmonies, telepathic improvisation, lyrical melodies and great ensemble playing, always inspired and informed by the colorful richness of Brazilian music. His compositions include samba, choro, baião, xote, forró, marcha and many more styles, rooted in centuries-old musical tradition while pointing to new and adventurous harmonic languages.

Transplanted to NYC from Seattle, Chris Stover is a trombonist, composer, theorist, and teacher. He has performed recently with Eddie Palmieri, Pablo Menendez, Charlie Hunter, Slavic Soul Party, Bobby Sanabria, Ingrid Jensen, Samir Chatterjee, Richard Boukas, Wayne Horvitz, Robin Holcomb, Tom Varner, Jovino Santos Neto, Michael Spiro, and Annea Lockwood, and he has toured internationally with Pablo Moses, Apple Gabriel, Quasinada, Jumbalassy, and the Harry James Orchestra, as well as his own solo and group projects. Chris spent many years as the go-to trombone player in the jazz, Afro-Cuban, and new music scenes in Seattle, and he appears on over sixty recordings, including critically acclaimed releases on OmniTone, Origin, and Sub Pop. A new CD with the Q.E.D. Trio is available on Origin Records, and new CDs with his quartet and More Zero have just been released by More Zero Music....
