The Blue Note is one of those odd rooms that makes you wonder what it might have been in its first incarnation…a shoe store, a pet shop, a grocery? It’s a long, narrow room with few really good seats. Even the best seat can leave you with a strained neck at set’s end but I can’t even count the times I’ve been there to hear some of the greatest musicians jazz has ever produced. There I was again, sitting on the right side of the stage looking up at Mike Stern and Will Lee and thinking “how do they get all those players and their gear on such a small platform?” The Blue Note is not a logistical picnic for the musicians either and you have to think that it helps if the players are best of friends! These folks really played like best of friends, that’s for sure, and the show began with a rousing groove that brought the room to life. Will Lee has boundless energy and jumps up and down endlessly (there was no room to move side to side) as he plays. Mike Stern looks like a teenage rocker and never stops grooving as he creates that unique sound that is absolutely his own voice. Ada Rovatti was having a blast, looking cool and comfortable among the boys, and more than held her own. Randy is Randy, just one of the best to ever do what he does and led the band with superb playing and that special spark that only few have. Dave Weckl is a master modern drummer and perfect for this band. Keyboardist George Whitty sounded great but I have no idea if he was having fun as I couldn’t see him from where I sat. ~ Randy Brecker
