Neal Alger’s Brazilian Trio
Guitarist Neal Alger is Brazilian by marriage; but his feeling for the country’s bountiful sounds couldn’t be truer if he had it in his DNA. With bassist Curt Bley and drummer Gerald Dowd, he captivates with decades’ worth of irresistible bossa nova, samba, carioca, chorinho—the full range of pulsating Latin rhythms.
