An excellent showman
by Jim on 2024-10-29Living Arts Centre Auditorium - MississaugaRating: 5 out of 5Matt Dusk put on an excellent show. It was not just a performance of existing recordings or an homage to another artist, but his own performance. Duskās personality, talent, energy and pure pleasure in performance shone through, making it an experience far above hearing good music.
But the music was good. The band was a huge contribution to the experience. The pianist ran the risk of stealing the show, with his fine jazz riffs and close collaboration with the vocals. The bassist and percussionist were also fine players, not only shining in their own right but enhancing the whole performance.
I enjoy listening to Matt Duskās recordings, but this was a performance! Well done!
