King Sunny Ade, as always was amazing. l danced through out the entire show, wow !!!

It was simply MEMORABLE!!!! Beyond amazing! I would like to take the opportunity to truly thank The Rhythm Foundation for this unfortunately way too rare event. The most superb female singer of Brazil was in Miami, and I wasn't dreaming. It was for real. What a night! I wish she will come back.

Fantastic show. Johnny you are amazing. What an incredible journey you have had and thank you for letting me be apart of the incredible journey November 1st 2017 in Seattle!!! Jesse you are amazing as well. What a fantastic father you have. I love you. Peace Love & Cosmic Goodwill

I am a 'gringo' who was introduced to Djavan's music about 8 years ago. I am familiar with most of his work and I do speak some Portuguese. The show was about a 50/50 mix of jazz-style charts from Aria and classic hits. Without repeating with others have said - I will say that the musicians playing with him were incredible and Club Nokia is a very nice / intmate venue. Sound quality was fantastic as was the lighting (see photos). I hope to have the opportunity to see Djavan perform with a full band. My wife - who does not understand any Portuguese also really enjoyed the show.

My husband is from Guinea-Bissau and was thrilled to see Baaba Maal in person. Baaba Maal even said he would visit Guinea-Bissau in the future! Baaba Maal shared stories from his life and what inspires his music. It was a great evening!

I waited more than 40 years to see Milton in concert, so maybe my expectations were unrealistically high. On the plus side, he still has a voice of the gods. And his music is and will always be as good as structured popular jazz gets. The songs are timeless. But Milton is 72, and health concerns have surrounded him for some time now. He looked pale onstage, and clearly lacked energy. He even acknowledged not feeling well after experiencing winter cold during shows a few days prior in New York and Boston. He didn't smile. He didn't really connect with the audience as I'd expect a seasoned performer of his caliber to do. So yes, I was somewhat disappointed, but really more concerned for his health and well-being than anything else. His band -- particularly guitarist Wilson Lopes -- was fabulous. The hallmark voice was clear, sonorous and beautiful. The selection of songs was good, though many icons were missing. So I expected a 10, got a 7, and am still happy I went. Next time, sure hope he's feeling better! Milton strained to speak a little English. He didn't need to. I think most in the audience -- including myself -- are Brazilian and speak Portuguese daily.

If you know this band and they come to your town and you don't go see them, then shame on you. One of the best shows that I have been to in the last 20 years. They were spectacular. Don't miss them.

This was a bucket list trip from Scotland to BB Kings Speakeasy NYC to see Oleta Adams perform, a very big deal as I had waited since early 80's to have the privilege. I never uttered a sound throughout. A voice that has the power to induce an emotional reaction like no other, a voice with such depth and colour every song is truly unique !!. NEVER have I heard a voice like Oleta Adams , She sang and played piano effortlessly and her band - including her husband on drums John Cushon - played an unbelievably accomplished set ( in awe Mr Cushon ) . She played a varied set list from all her albums. A beautiful soul , she gave us all a little piece of wisdom on the true meaning of love. With a sharp intake of breath from the crowd when she revealed she is now 65 yrs old...Ms Adams showed a quick sense of humour, and remarked ...."black don't crack" The only blot on the gig was the big voice from the little new yorker when she heard the opening bars of 'Get Here' ....shouted " that's my karaoke song" !!!. At the very least bad mannered and not concert etiquette! The name Oleta Adams and karaoke should never be in the same sentence !!! Next stop Holland !

Marvelous songs, incredible playing, beautiful lighting -- great way to bring in the new year! I heard they were doing 24-track audio and running at least 4 video cameras, so I'd say it's likely the show will be released as a DVD before long. Only downside was bringing up the singer from the obscure band Squirrel Bait to do one of their songs that wasn't very entertaining or interesting.

The show was amazing! They played the classics, sounded great, and met with fans. Down to earth guys who don t have an ego. The venue was cool as well. Cheap drinks and there isn t a bad spot to watch the show. Thanks AF for swinging by!
