Experience Captivating Live Brazilian Jazz Like Never Before – A Front-Row Seat to Masterful Live Performance

Transform your living room into a concert hall and step into an intimate and electrifying live performance where two of the world's most brilliant musicians—Brazilian pianist and Latin Grammy-nominated composer Jovino Santos Neto and Estonian bassoon virtuoso Martin Kuuskmann—bring the rich textures of Brazilian jazz to life. Their new duo album, Retratos: Brazilian Portraits, isn't just a recording; it's an experience. Captured live at the prestigious Estonia Kontserdisaal during their triumphant 2024 tour, this album delivers the soul-stirring rhythms of choro, bossa nova, and samba with the raw energy and passion of a front-row concert seat.

Jovino Santos Neto, a former member of the legendary Hermeto Pascoal Group, and collaborator of Bill Frisell, Paquito D’Rivera, Flora Purim, and Airto, is known for his deep connection between music and nature, blending piano mastery with the heart of Brazilian tradition.

Martin Kuuskmann, a Grammy-nominated bassoonist, defies expectations with his expressive, lyrical playing, transforming his instrument into a voice that sings, whispers, and dances through the melodies of Brazilian greats like Antonio Carlos Jobim, Pixinguinha, and Radamés Gnattali. Their seamless interplay and breathtaking improvisation make Retratos a must-listen for jazz lovers and audiophiles alike.
