Jc- Interestingly enough, I went to the Green Mill with an extremely talented professional musician friend and her Mother (who is in her 70's). My friend agreed that it was one of the best live performances she had seen in a long time and that the musicians were brilliant. Her Father use to have his own big band, singing, conducting and playing sax so the family is very musically oriented. However, her Mother did look like she was in for a wild ride during Barber's first couple of songs! Later, she admitted to being taken in by the unique style, amazing intuitiveness and creative geniuous displayed by the musicians. Even for myself, I have found a much greater appreciation of the CD's after having seen the live performance. It enhances your admiration.
