Current Events

This was a truly impressive performance. The musicians, vocalists and dancer were incredible. We were thoroughly entertained and gained a new appreciation for this genre.

Great show at country Club Hills! George & Stanley totally jammed, and the 21 year old drummer from Chicago was impressive. My high-lite was when I and other audience members were invited to sing on stage with George & Stanley I was the first person to attempt to sing the Mothership connection it was fun!!! If you are a true Jazz lover you must see this show!

This was one of the best shows I've ever been to, if not the #1. It was an AMAZING show and Tommy showed why he is the #1 acoustic guitarist alive today. He is also a great human being. The concert was intimate with less than 500 in the hall and one could look between the stage and out the double door to the mountains, Lake Estes, and the evening sky. I will never forget this moment and it helped I got to meet Tommy and get my guitar signed!

GREAT show! When you are a 30+ year establish artist, there aren't really any words. Guest band Roman Street and Eric Essex + Band stole the night! If you haven't attended any of their performances, please put them on your MUST SEE List! The Lyric is a beautiful venue. They did a great job in restoring the place. Also, it is true that ALL seats are GOOD seats. I can't wait to go to another show there!

Bears den at Seneca Niagara casino is great small intimate atmosphere.....you could hear robben talking on stage without the mic, as if he was playin in my living room. Robben and his band were fantastic as expected. As a musician myself I can appreciate the small nuances as well as the outstanding musicianship. Can't wait to see them again down the road.

This was the first time that I saw the ROY HARGROVE QUINTET live. They were outstanding !! each one of them

An excellent evening of classic and experimental jazz from two of the greats. Both are playing with long time friends are are showing the audience why they are the most respected at what they do. A show for any fan of music, not just jazz :-)

Earl Klugh and the Band were truly playing at the top of their game Thursday night and the Birchmere was a perfect venue to establish synergy between the band and the crowd. Earl did not miss a beat and his band members were individually were well worth the price of admission. The saxophone player (I believe Tom Braxton) was truly exceptional. I highly recommend you attend if given an opportunity to do so. PS: A good selection of beer and wine. The food at the Birchmere was very good.

A special evening with a venerable quartet which decided to carry on after the death of their founder, Tim Hauser, with Trist Curless stepping into his baritone shoes. Janis Siegel, who is now 65, has never sounded better on songs like "Mystery" and "Boy from NYC," and Alan Paul, a founding member and veteran of the 1971 Broadway version of Grease, has his same smooth tenor. Cheryl Bentyne, with TMT since 1979, has had health issues but bounced all over the stage like a whirling dervish, hitting notes only dogs can hear. Trist isn't Tim, and doesn't try to be -- he has a great voice, but a humble demeanor. They sang four songs from their new CD, which is excellent, and a good assortment of old favorites. And, as a bonus, they came out after the show to sign autographs, chat with fans, and pose for pictures. Alan in particular was very accessible and forthcoming about the group's loss of their leader and how they dealt with it. I can't say they are at the top of their game, but they're pretty darn close for a group that's been at it for 45 years.

The show was fantastic, my seat was in a great location. The only problem was the performance was not long enough. Hugh Masekela has so many excellent "jams". It was just under 2 hours. But it was still a good show!
