All,
Saturday night's concert @ Sadlacks was one of the best dixieland jazz concerts that I've seen outside of New Orleans in a VERY long time.... These guys are simply amazing - and it's good to see the band back together again - albeit with a few new members - it fills a gaping hole in the Raleigh music scene.... Dave Wright, simply amazing - great vocals w/French & English and awesome Trombone to boot.... Dave Andrews is the string maestro - and makes it happen, Greg Cabel is belting it out on the Trumpets, I'm not sure what I can say about Bob Nery on the reeds - except AWESOME - raleigh's version of Pete Fountain for sure! Carl Blackwell, well he is the man on the skins - and not too bad on vocals either... Eric Husel is likely one of two Sousaphone players in the area - which gives the band a brassy bass - and simply solidifies their status a Dixieland Jazz royalty in the Triangle....
Great Show - and please check them out on facebook as well as check back here as I'll be posting their next gigs...
