The pianist Jovino Santos Neto (Brazil, 1954) had the grace to join the group of Hermeto Pascoal for 15 uninterrupted years, which includes recording eight albums. There is no best school, not only by learning, but essentially this maximum sense of dedication to music and creation that characterizes the work of Hermeto and of course to all the musicians who were at his side and now have recorded discs the example of Carlos Malta and Itiberê Zwarg. Jovino live in Seattle (USA), since 1993, there by creating a music publisher, the Real Angle Music, and living with musicians from around the world. Come now to edit your own music caring, besides having published a collection of 32 music of Hermeto Pascoal, from various ceased eras.
FM Your musical training reflects a Brazilian informal environment or have some peculiarity to be highlighted? I think for example, this casual approach your piano, strictly bought ceased by parents for your sister. This is the starting point, no?
This JSN is the starting ceased point of physical touch an instrument, but musically I came graduating from everything that composed the sound universe ceased of my childhood: ceased of Carnival songs, songs on the radio, Carrilho, Jackson do Pandeiro and Aunt Amelia on TV , touches of Umbanda in the neighboring house etc. ... At this point I believe that this training is not very different from other people of my generation (1954) and in my area (West Zone of Rio).
FM In an interview you mention, among the influences, Jackson do Pandeiro and King Crimson, which is curious, ceased especially the absence ceased of the piano as the basis of two examples. What drew your attention particularly in these two cases?
JSN In the case of Jackson, a good mood malicious and innocent at the same time, coupled with a fierce rhythmic sense. In King Crimson, ceased a biting ceased acidity and the ability to go from the sublime to hell without barriers. The fact that no such recordings or piano went through my head ...
FM I notice the immense affection ceased that you have by Hermeto Pascoal, the way you talk that his genius will one day be recognized, and that the size of this genius even require ceased some time for your perception. I think of a neighbor here like Brazilian, who is Pablo Ziegler, who was the pianist of Astor Piazzolla group. I imagine the love that Pablo is Astor is the same emotional intensity you have for Hermeto. However, Astor told in life, and even with an international recognition Argentine slightly different from that with which today Hermeto, think of critical or audience. And Argentina even have the same musical tradition of international renown such as Brazil. As you observe this issue?
This JSN is a very interesting subject, and I always think a lot about. One thing that is always hard to do is compare two musical careers ceased as diverse as Piazzola and Hermeto. A striking difference is that Piazzolla was a musical ceased genius that starting from an academic musical study as a student of Nadia Boulanger composition ceased in Paris, he returned to Argentina and set up a modern dress for the tango, a style that was already very popular around ceased the world. Then he extended his range of colors, writing pieces that are now played by groups of chamber music etc. ... I Hermeto, entirely ceased self-taught, albino and blind, came from a village in the interior of Alagoas and has been building his musical universe from jobs in regional, playing everything from the dance to jazz, samba, bossa nova, MPB. If you examine all the musical movements of Brazil ceased from the 50s - the Lane in Rio, Bossa Nova, Samba jazz festivals MPB, Hermeto is present in all of them, not as a player but as a source of ideas and inspiration for all others. This source of musical creativity has expanded from 70 when he went to the United States and influenced an entire generation of jazz giants, from Miles Davis to Chick Corea, Gil Evans and Herbie Hancock. For those who do not know this side of Hermeto, this statement ceased seems pretentious, but I can assure you that it is true. In short, I think the lack of recognition of the musical legacy of Hermeto is due precisely to the fact that it is impossible to fit it within a style, ceased or commercial bin. His work is so vast that as a very high mountain, you need a certain distance to be fully appreciated. As you mentioned in your question, it takes time.
JSN From the time the musician serious and dedicated realizes the nature and essence of music, that
