I don't normally go much for smooth jazz, but every now and then I'll check it out, and with Lee touring behind A Twist of Marley – an album of Bob Marley tunes, I figured this show would be good. And it was. And the crowd was great – no yokels at all!

Whiners will complain that the performance was pretty light on reggae content, but heck, what would you expect from folks who make their living creating music safe enough to sell by the cartload? Think of it as the musical equivalent of a Starbucks Blonde Flat White latte. I'm glad I went!
