The show was excellent.A rare treat. To witness the magical connection between the musicians was a privlege. Chucho is an icon and it felt like eveyone in the audience knew they in the precense of a master. The conncection amongst the band was incredible. There was a deep communication and mutual respect. And the energy level was maintained throughout the performance. Afterward I read that they are in the midst of a huge tour. Quite amazing how fresh they sounded. As for the venue i was very impressed, Not only beautiful, the quality of sound was just right. I was concerned it may be too loud but it was not. The audience was very appreciative and really responded to the music. There were several standing ovations and everyone left looking very satisfied.
Chucho is an amazing pianist, the group complimented his rhythm. His musical energy is so much younger than 71, incredible to experience. Was fortunate to meet Chucho later, he is authentic and humble, must go see while he still tours!
Great music and energy from top notch musicians. Chico sounds like 3 people on the piano at once. Very tight group, you could tell how much they love to play. Surprise numbers with Hugh Fraser were an added bonus. One of my top concerts of the year!
