I first saw Milton Nascimento perform in NYC at Carnegie Hall in 1984. This was during the height of his collaborations with a number of people in the jazz world. At that time I had already been a fan since the mid-70s, and I was excited to see him perform. This concert was very different for me; the venue was significantly smaller, and we are both older, so I bought VIP seats so that I could sit as close to the stage as possible. Milton was also sitting while he performed with his band, and while he couldn't reach the falsetto notes he was famous for, his baritone range was still strong and beautiful. I am sure I cried through most of the show, as did many around me. This was billed as a farewell tour, and I am sure I will not see him perform again. His band was a beautiful collaboration that reminded everyone of how much Milton has contributed to the world of music over the decades. He is a master artist.
