MULTI-CULTI CAST OF CHARACTERS: Rebecca Kleinmann is a fairly ubiquitous musical figure around town. The flutist has played often at SOhO and has been espied jamming at the Farmers Market. She calls Santa Barbara home but also hits the road for gigs elsewhere. Late last year, she released a fine and ambitious self-produced CD, Raio de Sol (Sun Ray), with a far-ranging cast of musicians and a stylistic map-quest configuration situated around a diverse but somehow unified Brazilian-cum-flamenco-cum-Latin-jazz sound.
Kleinmann, who plays SOhO on Mother’s Day night, May 14, in celebration of the new CD, is proudly featuring the noted Brazilian pianist Jovino Santos Neto in her live band for the occasion (as well as a show at La Ve Lee in Studio City tonight, May 11). The nimble Neto plays on several tracks on the CD, as do such famed players as percussionist Airto Moreira, and Neto’s original “Flauta de Tamoio†juicily opens the proceedings.

"REBECCA KLEINMANN ENSEMBLE AT SANTA BARBARA'S SOhO"
A graduate of Indian University's prestigious school of music,
flutist Rebecca Kleinmann, raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, has
made Santa Barbara her home base for the past four years, where she
has become somewhat of a fixture, teaching flute and gigging around
town. During this perios, her musical interests have taken her for
extensive periods, to both Spain and Brazil. There, she spent her time
absorbing their respective cultures, particularly the music.
Partly, at least, her experiences in both places have been brought
to bear on the creation of her radiantly auspicious debut CD, entitled
Raio de Sol. Helping to make it so, Kleinmann enlisted world
music/jazz luminaries, percussionist Airto Moreira and
pianist/composer Jovino Santos Neto, plus electric bassist Randy Tico,
acoustic bassists Burt Voice and John Crooks, pianist Josh Nelson,
