Piano meets saxophone, synthesizers, and fuzzed-out guitar.
Brazilian pianist João Donato is releasing a new album with Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad, via the duo’s Jazz is Dead label this June.
Born in 1934, Donato began playing accordion at age eight; later moving to Rio de Janeiro with his family, he soon became involved in local music scenes.
