Manfredo Fest
 
Brazilian (Porto Alegre) native painist spent awhile in Chicago during the seventies, and still returns at least once a year. "Fest has busy hands," says Playboy/Chicago Reader jazz critic Neil Tesser, "and an attack so hard it verges on brittle; on his own compositions, his solos can sound machine driven, the notes falling with the propulsive consistency of pistons in a well-tuned engine."

"Brazilian brilliance blends with be-bop," says the Chicago Tribune's Howard Reich.

Fest's most recent album, honoring the patron saint of Brazilian jazz, Antonio Carlos Jobim, is entitled Just Jobim (DMP).
