Rick Braun

Opening , mind blowing with all three artist on stage at the same time, their unselfishness. & brotherhood shown throughout the performance. It was by far the best life concert i have ever been too. I will be following their tour amd recommend you do so as well.

West coast Jam! Best smooth jazz concert in town!!!!

THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME VISITING THIS VENUE AND I HAD A GREAT TIME. NORMAN BROWN IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE JAZZ ARTISTS AND I'VE SEEN HIM EVERYTIME HE'S BEEN HERE FROM AS FAR BACK AS WHEN HE PERFORMED AT THE WAREHOUSE CLUB/BAR DOWNTOWN ON WOOLBRIDGE ABOUT 15-20 YEARS AGO. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT ALTHOUGH HE HAS SOOOOO MANY BEAUTIFUL SONGS, I REALLY WISH HE WOULD'VE PLAYED MORE UP TO DATE SONGS. I ALSO FEEL THE SAME WAY WITH KIRK AND RICK. THEY PLAYED SONGS 5+ YEARS OLD AND THATS NOT TO SAY I DIDN'T ENJOY MYSELF. BUT OTHER THAN THE SONG SELECTIONS, I HAD A GREAT TIME... THESE ARE JUST MY THOUGHTS AND THANKS FOR ASKING...

I just loved it all. Glad I didn't miss out on it. Could have listened to all of them all night long. Richard Elliot is one of my favorites but he and Rick together are phenomenal and the guitarists and drummer and lst time i heard David Benoit but will be looking for one of his cd's real soon. Wish the night was recorded.

This was the most exciting and unforgetable jazz show I have ever seen. There were moments of tender, love inspired songs such as Rick's rendition of My Funny Valentine and total ear blasting, rapid heart beat inducing IWE voice synthesizer renditon by Richard Eliot.

We always love the Scottish Rite Cathedral as a venue and were very pleased again. This Jazz Fest show was just fantastic from the get go. Rick Braun just plays that horn soooo well and Richard Elliot - well they are masters in their craft. Then David Benoit played the ivory. Just awesome;-) Great show and would definatly go again.

This was by far one of the best Jazz Fest concerts I have ever attended. These guys were hot from the moment they started playing to the last number. GREAT energy!

I'm a jazz fan in love with live performances. Charlotte has become the city of Jazz in my book. This event is one of the best venues,best artist I've attended. Keep bringing events like this.....will be there every time.....

Loved this show.....both are so talented and play so well together. Would definitely go again. First time at The Paramount...loved the decor and layout.

The performance by FourPlay was incredible. Their song selection and length of performance was perfect. Peter White was as usual very entertaining and he gave a good performance. I did not enjoy Rick Braun's song selection as much as Gerald Albright's. However, the trio numbers of Albright, Braun, and White were very enjoyable. As usual, the Fraze Pavillion continues to be one of my favorite venues for an outdoor concerts. The acoustics are good and they manage the crowd very well. Every seat seems to provide a good view of the stage.

This concert was so well done that it will become a family tradition. A good mix of Christmas music and their own music. I hope they come back to town on tour.

Every year it is said that "it can't get any better than this" and every year it does. There are so many talented musicians playing their hearts out. This is the premier event - it is for me.

What an awesome show with Rick Braun and Dave Koz! First time attending Berks Jazz Fest with my husband and some friends and had a great time. Looking forward to next year. Also saw Boney James another great show! Lisa

Rick Braun and Dave Koz put on an excellent show! Great Artists!!!

Awesome, simply awesome!!!! Rick Braun & Dave Koz are a pair made in heaven.

We attended 4 concerts this weekend and Rick Braun and Dave Koz were easily the best. Stone cold musicians and entertainers who keep you on the edge of your seat. The Best...

Rick consistently delivers a grand performance and this concert was equally as fantastic. He always brings his A game. He showed up at the late night jazz jam and Braun, Snitzer, and Marienthal were so spot on, you would never believe that it wasn t rehearsed. And i personally know it was not. I hope those three give us some more jamming!!! What a trio!!!

very good concert those guys are great. one of the best concerts I've seen.

Great night of smooth jazz from two of the best artist with so much richness to offer.

2 nonstop fabulous hours! Have seen these 2 performers 3 times in the last year.... they never disappoint!

Rick and Dave are an incredible duo onstage. Loved it!!!

I m a huge fan of Brain and Koz. I was really looking forward to the show because Koz hadn t performed at Berks in 8 years. They played well separately and together. But I was disappointed in their music selections. I wished they would have performed the most popular and awarded songs all the way through. instead they played a medley of hits and then mediocre songs

The concert was AMAZING I did not want it to end. Dave Koz, Rick Braun and Adam Hawley were off the charts. Dave I'm loving the new look. Your voice is great. Now I am just waiting for you to play the piano someday at one of your shows.

This show was absolutely amazing! I loved it from start to finish.

The concert was fabulous. All three entertainers played the entire 2 hours.

Wish it would've been longer, but loved how they highlighted each one of their music.

Loved the show! They were great ! Would see again.

This was an awesome concert, and extremely entertaining! I love the energy and style of the combination of BWB!

Great show nice venue , would have been fantastic if it could have been outside .. Regardless l really loved the show ...

As always, these guys do not disappoint. Great as a group, great as individual jazz musicians. They appear to be having as much fun as we, the audience, were having. I have followed these guys all over when I can get to one of their shows. Doesn't get much better.

I love them individually and as a group they are amazing, amazing, & did I say amazing

A well put together show. Kept the audience link with their program and signing out the door. All three are great artists in their own right. Would definitely see again

That was the most enjoyable show!!! Of course it did help a lot I was in the front row; but they were very comfortable with their musical art and it showed. Keep on keeping on BWB! Would love to have you back in Columbus, OH again soon!

Totally amazing concert! Hope they never stop playing. Each of them are stand-alone artists but put them together and you have nothing short of MAGIC! One of the best concerts I have seen in a while. So glad I went

It was nice and relaxing and great for end of the week concert. We really enjoy ourselves and a nice treat for my Friend's Birthday August, 4.

The concert was outstanding! They were all individually and collectively amazing!

Attended the BWB concert Friday evening. Only thing I can say is WOW! Great show, great crowd, not great acoustics. BWB are all great performers in their own right, great together.

Thoroughly enjoyed seeing Whalum and Brown live for the first time ! Brown was spectacular ! Whalum was super smooth and engaging. Braun we'd seen. Love his vibe and skill. Group chemistry and dynamics inspired fun and joy.

Event was well managed. Artist performed as if they appreciated the audience.

The concert was a good value for the money. I would have liked more Norman Brown solo.

What an awesome show by BWB at the Ohio State Fairgrounds! Music was great and the show had lots of energy. And really appreciate the 3 artists hanging around for a long time after the show for the meet & greet -- autographs and photos. They were generous with their time and it added to the overall concert experience. I'd go see BWB again in a heartbeat.

BWB is a superb conglomeration of masters of their craft. I have been a fan of each as individuals but was pleasantly suprised by their strong sound and cohesiveness. I would definitely be interested in seeing them again....

I had never seen a live jazz show, so I didn't know I would like their performances, my talked me into going. I am glad I did, UNFORGETABLE.

Totally wonderful concert , it was a great evening.

The show was just full of energy, a great mix of old and new.

First class musicians and vocals. Very good, very good.

High energy and flawless musicianship! Maybe one too many cover songs. They have plenty of their own songs they could have played.

I'm a huge N. Brown fan, that's the only reason I'm giving this review 2 stars. The show lasted for about an hour. Each performer only played 2 of their personal songs. They were on stage together about 50% of the show in some type of jam session. I'm not knocking the format just the length of the show.

Over all the show was good! Richard Elliott stole the show!

Great,show. I Haven't seen Norman Brown in awhile and his performance is as fresh as it was 10 years ago. Richard Elliot is always fresh.

These are amazing artists, truly three of the finest. I only wish they had played more of what they do best. That's what the first half of the show was, Braun, Brown and Elliot being themselves, playing great new music, and some old music played their own way. What was disappointing was it seems the third part of the show went "off script" so to speak. The "contemporary jazz" concert went Funkadelic. Instead of a current hit such as Braun's "We Don't Talk Anymore" (Charlie Puth/Salena Gomez) that I was hoping to hear, the boys went into ad-lib funk mode. Okay, the Elliot take on Summer Madness (Kook and the Gang) was fun but it fits the genre. The last third of the show did not. Also, it was obvious after the show while signing autographs, 61-year-old Rick Braun was beginning to show his age. I have visited with him after shows for many years. This time, he was different from his usual jovial, conversable self. Instead he had the persona of, "Let's just get this over with and go home, I'm pooped." I'm NOT a doctor but maybe it's time to slow down just a bit? Because these guys are just so darned talented, I have to give this show four stars. Still, as I said, I do wish they had stuck to the script.

Incredible show! Scheduled for 7:30 start and they were only 10 minutes late.

That was the best jazz concert ever in Dallas, I wish we could have more like that, the lineup was awesome

Just as I anticipated, the show was great! I'm a die heart Norman Brown fan, and he (they) performed no less than 100%. I look forward to the Dallas return again.

I'm a fan of all 3 performers. The Richard Elliott rendition of Europa and Summer Madness was awesome. Norman Brown and Rick Braun were good also. Great show all the way!

Enjoyed the concert. All were very talented. Just wanted more. Concert short, no intermission or additional guest.

Richard Elliot awesome as usual! Rick Braun is so cool. Norman Brown was new to me but he was also good. Overall good concert. We thought is was a bit too short. Not even 2 hours long, but it was good.

Best jazz trio group ever!!! Norman Brown & Richard Elliott killed it

Wow, what a great concert - exactly what we expected: some great solo work, some mellow jazz, and some kick-ass jazz.

Great show just to short for the amount of the tickets.

The concert was great! It was nice to Kenny Latimore perform his all time hit "For You" live. Norman Brown, Kirk Whalum and Rick Braun always bring it! Great concert!

Outstanding! My wife can not get enough of Kenny! She keeps playing her video! Lol. BWB, WOW. I always wanted to see these Artists live in my earlier years. Excellent. Yes I would recommend this venue to friends lovers, family. Thank you soooooo much :D

The whole VIP experience was fantastic! The jazz-harpist M. Antoinette was outstanding, sensual, & classy. The dinner was exquisite. All the performing artists were awesome! The entire experience was a golden moment, shared with good people.

I must say this was a very nice concert. The concert goers were well dressed and coupled up for love on this Valentine weekend. Very mature and sophisticated crowd. Oh, the performers were great. Kenny Latimore, OMG! was the best. My husband and I enjoyed everyone. It was the best!!! Looking forward to seeing them all at another show together.

This was the perfect mix of old hits and new. These three geniuses made the evening fun, interactive, and energetic. The sound at the Terrace Theater is so great. We have been to this venue several times and are never disappointed. A wonderful evening.

These guys appear to really have fun playing. The look like they Harper tremendous respect for one another. They are all stars on their own right, but together they are even better! Finally, they respect the audience by bringing in an outstanding drummer, keyboard player and bass.

I have been a musician all of my life and when I tell you that these musicians were having fun.....indeed they were having fun with each other and the audience......

The best part of the show was Fourplay then Rick Braun

Jazz Attack was outstanding> Really enjoyed the show.

Fourplay was really great! What a treat to see Bob James. Chuck Loeb was a perfect replacement for Larry Carlton. Rick Braun and Peter white are always a real treat to see. Peter plays with his whole heart and soul. And Nate, their Bass guiterist...wish they had given him a little solo time because he's so great.

I am not a jazz fan but went with my husband who loves it. I was pleasantly surprised that I really enjoyed the music. Fourplay was really good and Peter White is awesome.

Great Concert I would recommend the event to any Jazz lover

Fourplay was incredible - a masterblend of talent - smile is still on my face. Braun, Albright & White was well done.

My husband and I were so hungry for live smooth jazz, and these guys didn't let us down. Four Play sounded terrific and Peter White, Rick Braun, Gerald Albright and co. were remarkable. Thank you all and all your behind-the-scenes help for a truly wonderful evening. Sincerely, Jazzkats

I have seen better performances by these guys. They mailed it in...

The main act with Peter White, Rick Braun and Gerald Albright were great but I thought Peter White stoled the show. I wish Fraze Pavilion would invite White by himself and his band. I saw him at Glenora Winery in the Finger Lakes, NY and he was fantastic!!

This was awesome - as an up and coming man that likes Jazz from different arena's as well as R&B. i enjoyed the twist that was put on everything that was played that night, it wasn't the same thing that you would hear on CD. Flour Play Gerald - Rick and Peter you put the O in SHOW. Thanks!!! Oh and if anyone so happens to come next year- if they do come then check out a Grill named 'BlackJack Grill' Very good pork Chops. I only had one problem when they were trying to grill for the masses my pork chop wasn't done all the way but they fixed the problem for me- Even though if you can get a chance to try it when there isn't a whole line it is Exquisite to the Tongue- 17 herbs and spices mmmm

This was a great event to introduce someone to smooth jazz which is why I attended and brought a friend. She thought it was fantastic and even though she likes jazz, this gave it a whole new meaning. Fantastic concert.

We have wanted to see Fourplay for 20 years and saw them at the greatest venue ever!! Their musicianship is unbelievable and the concert was just plain fun! The Fraze is the perfect place for jazz under the sky. Great job by the sound technicians!! As usual, Braun, White and Albright were terrific too!! Wonderful night!

The concert with Jazz Attack was great! We saw them together last year and they have such a energenic show...the interaction with the audience and the switching of artists playing their work and then sharing the stage was really enjoyable. You get to enjoy them as individual artists as well and see their own personal style.

2nd visit to the Fraze and once again we had a wonderful time. Next year we will plan to eat before coming the lines were too long.

The concert was great as usual, I haven't been to a bad concert at Fraze!

These three performers were truly awesome!!! They put on a fabulous show! Peter White was especially entertaining!!!

This concert was awesome! These 3 musicians are so very talented and entertaining!!!

Absolutely fantastic! Hope they come to the Fraze next year - it's a great venue.

My Husband & I are 1st timers to Fraze, and we had an absolute ball. The grounds are very nice, didn't have a problem finding it. The music was fantastic, even the music by 480 East, Shilts, before the main concert was awesome. We'll be back again real soon! Too bad Cincinnati doesn't have all the different genre of music like Fraze does @ theirvenue. Very pleased customer. Beth

All 3 are great artists...they gave an unforgettable performance. Truly amazing!

concert great/ need to have more cusions seats avaible

All are outstanding musicians and it was awesome to watch them having so much fun together on the stage. It was back and forth between all of them with each having opportunities in the spotlight. Great performance by all individually and together.

Truly a fantastic show! Rick Braun and Peter White are fantastic showmen with a great amount of energy while Gerald Albright plays maybe the sassiest sax there is!! A previously unannounced treat was having Phillipe Suisse at the keyboards. And the weather held out until we were all back in our cars!!

Four Play was awesome!!! Was very disappointed in Rick Braun. He's usually more energetic! Peter White was great as usual. The first half of the show with Four Play, great. The second half with the others kind of boring because they followed the greats and they did a lot of fillers in between songs. Just play!

Show moves along fast with great music. They all seem to enjoy performing together.

I've been a Rick Braun fan for years and really love his music. It was great to see him play live. Also enjoyed Peter and Mindi. They and Rick were very entertaining and really had fun together. My family and I had a great time.

We went with another couple, who are also big jazz fans, expecting a great concert. What we got far exceeded our expectations! First, we were very impressed with the beautiful decorations. Then Peter White, Rick Braun and Mindi Abair gave us a wonderful evening of amazing music and show!! We'look forward to going next year!!!

This was the best show I have seen in a long time. I loved it! My daughter had puton her teeth earlier that afternoon and then we went to the show. She was complaining and in pain and wanted to go home, until the show started. She was captivated and ended up meeting the musicians after the show. It was a magical night and I would definitely go again.

We love it when this fantastic performance comes to our city. Peter, Rick and Mindi put on a truly awesome performance. Jazz lovers will have an evening to remember! This was their second time coming to our city for this Christmas performance and we loved it just as much as we did the first time.

I have seen the last 5 Peter White Christmas shows at the Florida Theater,and really thought that I had seen all the gang had to offer,but,I was wrong.They played a few new pieces,but,the old songs were played with a little more vigor than last years,and I truly enjoyed the entire show.My biggest complaint lately has been the noise(music) level so high,I've left the last 4 or 5 concerts with my ears hurting,and a headache to boot.(am I'm getting old?)Truth of the matter is as a student I've played the Fla. Theater in high school and college jazz concerts,and it truly is one of the finest acoustic houses around,and even on the third row,did'nt have to turn my head,music level was perfect,very glad I went,again...........

BWB was outstanding!!! They played a great selection of music, old and new. We wish that Kirk would play a medley, similar to Norman Brown (Afterthought, Over the Rainbow, etc.). We are just a little bit biased because we saw him play those songs years ago in Austin and San Antonio. The sound system/acoustics, camera work, and lighting were just average in this venue. The seating was disappointing, crowded, and uncomfortable.

This was a awesome concert. It was my first time seeing Kirk Whalum & Rick Braun, has seen Nroman Brown several times. These guys performing together was AWESOME!!!! They played their own hits as well as hits that they have together. Some of the seating in Andiamo's was not the best, but the sounding was awesome. I love this venue and hope they bring more acts including this one back in the future.

Allstar Night was an outstanding show.. Enjoyed every moment and my daughter also (her 1st time).. If you missed this than make sure you go next year.. Highly recommended.
