Chris Yates' 1988 Newcastle Jazz Festival programme notes said of Vasconcelos: The spectacular Brazilian percussionist has astonished Newcastle audiences twice recently with his polyrhythmic virtuosity in the diverse company of the Jan Garbarek Quartet and Don Cherry's Nu'. Vasconcelos' Newcastle Playhouse concert appearance on May 11 that year featured Cyro Batista (percussion), Teese Grol (keyboards) and Sergio Brandao (bass).
