Sheryl Crow

CMAC 8/13/2010

 

 As Sheryl Crow saunter out onto the CMAC stage in skyscraper-heeled sandals and took her position not behind the guitar but the keyboards to open the show, you could not help but have fun knowing she was happy to be there.

Yesterday (June 16) during the 6th day of the Jazz Fest I made it to the Lutheran Church Of Reformation for the ‘Nordic Jazz Now’ series. Playing was Eivind Opsvik and his band ‘Overseas’.

Last night (June 14th) during the 5th day of the Jazz Fest, an audience at the Eastman Theater got a long and energetic performance from Herbie Hancock. The concert consisted of upbeat tunes that mainly highlighted his music of the 1970’s and his current work.

The first half featured many songs from Herbie’s two classic jazz-funk albums, ‘Headhunters’ (1973) and ‘Thrust’ (1974). The band opened with ‘Actual Proof’ (Thrust) and after that performed a hybrid of ‘Watermelon Man’ (as played on Headhunters) and guitarist Lionel Loucke’s piece ‘Seven Teens’.

“The Incredible Machine Tour”

With a grind of gears and a blast of steam, the curtain finally went up for the start of the 2010 concert season at CMAC. As the house lights shone on a giant clockwork machinery, and a mad scientist’s nest of wires, atop a catwalk, front-woman Jennifer Nettles and guitarist Kristian Bush performed a robot dance.
