Considered a living legend in his home country, Pascoal treated the standing room only audience to his unique blend of sounds and instrumentation including his percussionist producing point and counterpoint squeaks from a rubber pig and lamb to huge applause! One of numerous visiting admirers, flutist Rebeca Kleiman demonstrated her serious support for the eighty six year old artist. According to Mr. Pascoal's publicist,...
