He was also the sole artist invited to represent Brazil in the first Ibero-American Chamber Music Festival, playing Villalobos, Gismonti, and ’’Jogos De Mar", a piece he wrote for the event.
Ney’s jazz heritage shows in his family as well. He is related to the greatest brazilian jazz artist, the late saxophone giant and legend VICTOR ASSIS BRASIL and guitarits/educator GUSTAVO ASSIS BRASIL .
Ney, as did his cousin Victor, also has an unusually effective gift for teaching. His former students include Grammy Award winner Herbert Vianna.
Ney receives numerous international guitar students at many levels of ability and several prominent recording rock artists and jazz/jazz-fusion artists for private guitar/bass technique and improvisational development consultations.
Their goal is the same as NEY’s...to always go beyond and BE the music..free of technical impediments and limitations.
