Totally agree!
When we were tour managers for the tours by the Gambian kora maestro, Jali Sherrifo Konteh, Jim booked him for the MusicPort festival in Whitby and we found everything about the festival enjoyable - the standard of organisation, programming and music was top class and the variety of traditional and roots music from all over the world was a joy.
When Sherrifo had finished his performance on the main stage, he was approached by a Guyanan storyteller called Tuup. He said that he would tell a long story about a kora player if Sherrifo would accompany him playing softly in the background and filling the gaps that Tuup left with some flourishes of solo playing. No time for rehearsal, let's just do it.
"But what will I play?! Sherrifo asked.
"Just listen to the story and play what you think will fit."

The performance was mesmeric and a huge crowd loved it. Every time we return to the Gambia, Sherrifo still talks about it and how hard he had to think to make his playing fit and what a buzz it gave him.
