Three-time Latin Grammy nominee Jovino Santos Neto will play a show at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Kay White Hall.

Neto is a master pianist, composer and arranger and is among the top Brazilian musicians working today. Santos Neto’s personal style is a creative blend of energetic grooves, deep harmonies and dynamic improvisation, inspired and informed by the colorful richness of Brazilian music. His compositions include samba, choro, baião, xote, forró, marcha and more, all rooted in centuries-old musical tradition while pointing to new and adventurous harmonic languages.

Santos Neto has taught at Seattle’s Cornish College of the Arts and has frequently participated at Jazz Camp West. In 2012, he was inducted into the Seattle Jazz Hall of Fame and is the recipient of several Golden Ear Awards by Earshot Jazz.
