Thoroughly enjoyed the gig , loved the Basie number especially and Winter Games . The interpretation and arrangements of the traditional Christmas songs offered a really enjoyable perspective on those all too familiar songs . I am not sure how much practice the band were afforded, given the restrictions we all live under at present, but they are such accomplished musicians that did not appear to have impinged on their collective ability and in no way did it detract from the shear quality of the music they produced this evening . Thank you so much for a really enjoyable evening.
Thanks for the detail about what Alice was wearing, but you didn't describe anyone else's clothing and how it fit them.
See the band photo.
Have to agree with both comments.
The band sounded incredible: thanks so much...
And I came here for the jazz, not the fashion critique!
Merry Christmas.
