![]() Thanks for a great evening.įavorite moment: Clairdee's rendition of God Bless The Child Keep up the great work KJO! We would LOVE to see Clairdee again. The KJO is always a bargain (we assume because of generous sponsors) tickets are incredibly reasonably priced and affordable to most people, especially when compared to pop entertainers who charge 4 times as much for dubious quality musicianship played in a barn like Thompson Boling Arena. We also enjoyed her banter and explanation of the history of the songs. She is respectful of jazz standards but brings a fresh interpretation to them. Her ability to bend a note giving us much more than the composer wrote was breathtaking however, she never lost sight of the melody. Vance Thompson and the KJO's ability to attract nationally known guest musicians is a testament to this fact. Knoxville is indeed fortunate to have fabulous musicians - not merely entertainers - such as these. Many cities that are much larger than Knoxville do not have a big band of the caliber of the KJO - or a big band, period. The Knoxville Jazz Orchestra was magnificent, as usual. Cellular Stage at the Bijou Theatre - Knoxville, TN - Tue, Posted by TNJazzfan Setlist: Skylark, Little Liza Jane, and all A wonderful evening!įavorite moment: The fabulous parade through the audience! Loved "meeting" the Marsalis family's trombonist and adored seeing Herlin work his magic. We both said it was in the top five concerts we'd ever attended. We had the most fun clapping, whooping and stomping through Dalfeayo and Herlin's performance with the KJO! What a start to the new season! And our own guys stood up to not only superbly backing up the guest artists, but to their solos and enhancing the riffs, off-chart jamming and improvising. Cellular Stage at the Bijou Theatre - Knoxville, TN - Tue, Posted by Jazz2please Each section of the orchestra was featured, and it led to a very interesting performance.įavorite moment: The best song was "What child is This?" Cécile showcased her range and dynamics very well. The jazz orchestra was spot-on, and Cécile McLorin Salvant was absolutely stunning. This was probably the best vocal performance I have attended. ![]() Tennessee Theatre - Knoxville, TN - Thu, Posted by Anonymous
