“Near the end of the set at Birdland, Kay Kostopoulos dressed as a member of a harem and sporting two pairs of finger cymbals soloed on “Boulevard Of Broken Dreams” was as close to finger cymbal virtuosity as I’ve ever heard (and if she wasn’t also from the Bay Area, I’d claim this as an “only in New York” moment!)” (November 12-21, 2021) Concert Reviews, Frontpage by Thomas Cunliffe.
