Jazz & Mo Magazine (B): “From the busy Grand Boulevard where everyone races at high speed, you continue through industrial harbor districts, an out-of-control demonstration, and a short metro ride to slums where illegal parties are held. Meanwhile, on the radio, you can hear from Bach to Talking heads. Impossible to get lost with the supplied (!) map. Book immediately, is the message. It’s not a concert, it’s a trip!”
