The first Dakar Jazz Encounter, sponsored privately by Baidy Agne and Cheikh Kane: eight New York musicians flown to Senegal for a week, and an evening in three sets at Baidy's apartment on the Plateau — the Marta Sanchez Quartet, the Brandee Younger Trio, and the Strickland brothers' trio — with dinner between the second and the third.
