--- I'm not able to hear much of the second song as my ten-month-old son
Brody keeps trying to eat the computer cords. He is unsuccessful, thankfully,
and I am able to settle down for Aretha.
--- The Aretha song includes strong back-and-forths between vocalists and a
nice instrumental interlude.
--- Hehe, “Summertime” is a fitting song choice. The performance brings back memories of Fantasia Barrino.
--- “For those of you who know me, I promise this is water.” HA!
--- Shue nails the last note of “At Last.” I like that the song has
moments for the guitar, keyboard, and double bass. Each of
the performers delivers.
--- Shue makes numerous statements about fireball. I agree with them all.
--- Oooh, there's an intriguing change in tempo and vibe with Cassius’ “Sound of Violence.” That's a new song to check out afterward.
--- “If I Ain’t Got You”: legit chills at the vocals. Seamless
transitions as well.
--- Hahahah at “a Bill lie.” #FrostTalentShow2021? I’d
participate.
--- Even though the whole thing was online, seeing that colleagues like Mindy,
Annelle, Krissy, Meg, Alex, Rachel, Jen, and Laura were there added to the
experience.
I had two reservations. First, the mic volume made it hard to hear comments
from musicians in the back. Second, my son had the nerve to expect to go
to bed an hour into the show. I almost never leave concerts early, but
what can I say? Infants are selfish...
Grade: A-
I am grateful to the band for a satisfying Saturday night. The only sane decision these days is to stay apart, yet I’m glad this live stream brought people together. Fingers crossed, when everything gets back to normal, I look forward to checking Jazz Trotters out in person. At that show, as a sign of appreciation for the invite, Heather, the first cup of water’s on me...
