Bebop Spoken There

Val Wilmer: "The festival [New York Musicians Festival], an impressive exercise in African-American self-reliance, had come about after the promoter George Wein had moved his annual Newport Jazz Festival to New York the previous year [1972], and paid scant attention to the avant garde." - (Wire June 2020)

Dave Rempis: “Ten years from now, I can see musicians streaming concerts in real time and charging a minimal amount for people to watch.” - (DownBeat September 2013)

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).
