February 7 & 8 Sets 8 & 10PM at Kitano (66 Park Ave, NYC (@38 St.) Featuring Helio Alves - piano, Ben Allison - bass, Alex Kautz - drums, Rogerio Boccato - percussion. "[Alves has] subtlety, musicianship and extraordinary improvisational facility..." "...outstanding capabilities as a melodic improviser..." Robert L. Doerschuk, DownBeat Magazine "Alves plays with a gravity and a stylistic flair that's truly impressive." Phillip Van Vleck, Billboard Magazine "Alves executes his feats with unhurried grace, even at very fast tempos. There is an aptitude that, if not exclusive of Brazil, has reached its highest expression there: the communication of a subtle energy embodying a life- affirming message that life is transitory."
