It's in Guca, Serbia, a small town with one hotel: all lodging, food,
drink, and music are imported for the festival. The music is almost
entirely Serbian Gypsy brass bands such as the Boban Markovic Orkester.
It happens this August 5 and is the largest music festival in the world.
Miles went and liked it; he said, "I didn't know trumpet could be played
like that." The opening act this year is Emir Kusterica (yes, the
filmaker) and his No Smoking Orchestra. Best party in Europe I'm told.
