"Imali smo sreće između ostalih čuti Anu Popović, Petera Herbolzheimera, Judy Niemack, Chucka McPhersona, Trio Sylvaina Luca i druge, što govori o kvalitetu North City Jazz & Blues festivala… Uvjeren sam da će organizator … i dalje pozivati kvalitetne džez muzičare, a po mogućnosti i podići kvalitetu ovog džez hepeninga," izjavio je Marković za Southeast European Times.
"We were fortunate to hear, among others, Ana Popovic, Peter Herbolzheimer, Judy Niemack, Chuck McPherson, Sylvain Luc Trio and others, which bespeak the quality of the North City Jazz & Blues festival…I'm convinced that the organiser will …continue to invite quality jazz musicians, and, if possible, even more raise the quality of this jazz happening," Markovic told Southeast European Times.
