"JOSEPH 'FLIP' NUNEZ was a giant of a talent. He could sing, play the piano, write tunes ‹ all with grace and passion. He was the kind of musician and composer that other musicians and composers dug. He was a hero to poets like kearny street workshop co-founder and manilatown activist AL ROBLES. Toward the end of his life, Flip became a hero to a younger generation of musicians that grew up in his shadow. Weeks before a November concert in 1995 that would have featured him as the headliner, Nuñez passed away. The concert became a tribute to him, as well as to the legacy of jazz music by Filipinos in the United States." The music of NOVEMBERLY is taken from the Theo Gonzalves Trio's performance at this concert.
