Notes

Tonight's show was an interesting mash-up: let's see what happens when an opera singer fronts a jazz band, shall we?

I liked the idea a lot, but I would have liked it more with another couple of tunes: 60 min of music in a 90 min show? Yeah, that's too much talking!!.

Program Notes or program notes

Andrew Gilbert posted a neat promo article about the players and the program with SFCV.

A few days later, Jason Victor Serinus posted a review of the show with SFCV. I'd say his experience was consistent with mine.
