Donato Soviero is an inspiring guitarist based in Washington, DC
who’s been dedicated to performing music for 40 years. Through live
performances and studio recordings, he’s honed his creativity and
sound to become a distinctive voice in jazz. The guitarist and composer
began playing music at the age of twelve. By high school, he had
already set a course as a jazz musician. His formal jazz studies began
at the University of Miami, and later he earned a bachelor’s degree from
George Mason University. Donato has appeared with top local and
national artists in the Washington D.C. area since 1982, and led his own
groups in the United States, Europe and the Caribbean. He has
appeared at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Wolf Trap, and
the Carter Barron Amphitheater, where he opened for Poncho Sanchez
and the late Tito Puente. Mr. Soviero has also led bands in D.C. venues
such as Blues Alley, Twins Jazz, the Bohemian Caverns, the
Smithsonian Jazz Café, Bethesda Jazz and Blues, and many Jazz
festivals. He has been a member of the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks
Orchestra, as well as co-led (w/saxophonist Jeff Antoniuk) the Jazz-
fusion group, MARS 4tet. He’s played for several Presidents, and at the
State Department for the Thelonious Monk Institute. Mr. Soviero has
been the recipient of awards, including a 1994 TAP Award from the D.C.
Commission of the Arts and Humanities and a 1995 GIA Fellowship
from the National Endowment for the Arts. Recent recordings include
the 2021 release “Brazilian Moments”, 2019 release “For All We Know”,
“The Blind Watchmaker” (w/Mars 4’Tet), many features as sideman, and
a CD tribute to Charlie Byrd entitled “Classical Jazz.”
Tom Cole, host of WPFW’S ‘G STRINGS’ has this to say about
Donato’s guitar playing: “His beautiful phrasing and impressive
improvising took me aback… He’s one of those real surprises.”
