Very Nice! Great musicians and great music. I would have prefered a little lower volume and perhaps even accoustic in such a small venue, especially as there were some amplification problems. Buzzing and such. Will recommend this group even with any problems, though.
Personal complaint. I wanted to dance so bad to those great tunes!
Saw it last night. Independently, I love these musicians.
Together, they bring their talents to bear, but frankly? I, like Donald Munro, wished for much more.
This was like "Hey! Let's get together tonight and play some tunes we all know!"
Typical jazz night. Debi sings 2 verses, there are two solos, Debi sings the end of the song.
They're all super-talents, but I much preferred Debi's show at Starline with the Tower of Power back-up group...more rehearsed and, well, it was something special.
This was just 4 greats getting together to jam...and with these greats, that's kind of disappointing.
Eh, Donald said it better than I: www.fresnobeehive.com
After listening to Debbie on KFSR I knew I had to see this incredible vocalist. The last opportunity I had to hear Debbie sing was over ten years ago, I must say her talent, her voice, her delivery all were incredible. At the request of husband Greg, she delivered "Company". It was powerful. From Etta James "At Last" to the final number "Testify" there wasn't a dull moment.
Had I known I would be impressed enough to write a review I would have taken better care to remember the names of all the members in the band. Each musician contributed to the mix making each number a full-bodied delight.
Debbie commented that we should love our neighbors because life is too short. It is too short. Get out and see this talented young woman and the musicians who support her. The seven dollars at the door isn’t enough to help support and promote this kind of talent.
