Jazz drum great Andrew Cyrille revels in the collaborative spirit on the opening night of New York's annual Vision Festival. Our review
If Tuesday’s show had a theme, it was that — the way Cyrille’s deft, nuanced and intelligently responsive playing highlighted the contributions of whoever he was onstage with at the moment.
Cyrille also played a supportive yet crucial role during a set by his group Haitian Fascination, which nods to the music of his parents’ homeland. Along with Haitian drummer Jean Guy-Rene, Cyrille set up a lively, minimal pulse using his bass drum and the metal rims of his snare, providing a launchpad for the spoken-word flights of poet Quincy Troupe, whose verses traced the arc of African American music from bebop to Beyoncé.

During a set break, some projected text appeared on the screen behind the stage.
