Yeah, April 30. in Zürich! Bought tickets for me and my Dad (birthday gift).
Curious about what he will say to this great band / music.

[Justin Bias]

it will be very nice to meet you!
Please make sure to introduce yourself while we're there!

Are you close to there? would you be interested in hanging posters around the area if I send some to you?

please email me if you'd be interested: [e-mail]

Same goes for anyone who might live close to one of these shows and wouldn't mind helping with street team promotion!

Best,
Justin

That would be great.

I can´t help you with the posters, sorry.
I´m 100 km from Zürich away and the Ribot Trio will play together with Scofield Quartet on the same day here in my area. Fierce competition.


How many musicians are playing actually on the tour?
Sometimes the group had 12 peoples on stage.

[Justin Bias]

This band is 4 members:

Tim Keiper on Drums and Ngoni
Brian Marsella on Pianos and Melodica
and
Shanir Blumenkranz on Oud and Bass (who just played with Masada last week in place of an ill Greg Cohen)

Cyro has another band - Beat The Donkey - which often as 10 or more members on stage!

This project is strictly a quartet.
We're very much looking forward to the tour. I'll post some video and audio of rehearsals as we start to get closer!

Oops, my fault. I mixed that.
The Quartet played also at the Serge Gainsbourg Tribut in Paris last year, right? It was one of my favourite parts in this night.

Cyro Baptista's Banquet of the Spirits is scheduled on july, 6 at The Stone for a record release party of the latest installment of the Book of Angels series. I wonder if that will be the Book of Angels volume 16...

[Justin Bias]

Banquet of the Spirits will also be playing The Stone on June 2nd - playing songs from their forthcoming Book of Angels release.

The band will be going into the studio at the end of May after the europe tour for the latest installment of the book angels.

Banquet premiered 3 of these songs at the Masada Marathon at the Abrons Center in February!

Also wanted to let everyone know we have an amazing hand silk screened poster of the tour of europe for sale on our website now! The artist is Nate Duval and he did a remarkable job.
