MUSIC REVIEW BY Tom Haugen, Take Effect
Jovino Santos Neto's piano is joined by Hans Teuber, Chuck Deardorf and Mark Ivester for these jazz, classical and Brazilian inspired 7 tracks that document their first public performance.
The animated spirit of the lead off track, "Metamorph", benefits from Neto's quick keys and Teuber's lively winds, and the title track follows with much elegance, where the keys and wind welcome Ivester's skilled drums.
In the middle, "Chorelético" showcases Deardorf's meticulous bass before the bright interplay starts between the 4, while "Candango/Haja Juntas" spotlights Teuber's colorful flute amid much melody and warmth.
"Happy Birthday, Ariel!" exits, and allows for the atmospheric keys and festive mood that's busy, swift and exciting thanks to all the player's dynamic prowess.
Although this recording is over 30 years old, it sounds very current and illustrates a worldly flavor from the Quarteto that exudes life, creativity and love.
