  1. Oh my goodness, what a great show that was!! The drummer, Eric Harland, really was the best drummer I’ve ever heard in my life, so subtle and detailed at the same time. But he didn’t steal the show, as the rest were supurb musicians as well. I liked their on stage energy as a group, the way they traded off each other’s contributions. I’m glad I went!

  2. Loved the show! Excellent ensemble playing. And while I agree with the previous poster about Eric Harland’s talent, I did feel he was too loud compared to his bandmates.

  3. Awesome show! Beautifully paced, tight interplay yet freedom for each to move and stretch. Payed homage to the Blue Note sound but also to freer styles with hints of latin and a dash of almost rock tempos. Truly versatile and thoroughly enjoyable. Each player stood out as a confident and fully developed soloist. Encore!
