"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.
"Imali smo sreću da čujemo, pored ostalih, Anu Popović, Petera Herbolchajmera, Džudi Nimak, Čaka Mekfersona, trio Silvain Luk i druge, što najbolje govori o kvalitetu džez i bluz festivala Severni grad…Uveren sam da će organizatori… nastaviti da pozivaju kvalitetne džez muzičare i, ako je moguće, čak još više podignu kvalitet ovog džez hepeninga", rekao je Marković Southeast European Timesu.
