“This is
a fascinating exploration that's both musically joyous and richly
illuminating” – Jonathan Widran, AllMusic.com
· In
Alma Do Nordeste, Santos Neto offers a diversified program, one
that includes a wide palette of hues consisting of folk-based pieces and
musically-transposed personal encounters with the region's “soul” (hence the
“Alma” of the album's title), spirit and diverse cultural elements. The
Carioca (or
Rio-based) pianist succeeds in transmitting the region's multifarious beauty
and appeal. – Martin Gladu, AllAboutJazz.com
