Jazz
Back To Black: The Music Of Amy Winehouse is fairly short at fifty minutes, but every one of those minutes is a total joy. Reine Beau Anderson Dudley is a star!
Renee Geyer opened her show with a version of B.B. King’s The Thrill Is Gone, a song whose title could not be further from the truth for those who bought tickets to see her this time around.
Cecile McLorin Salvant – a jazz superstar in the making? Maybe. But she’s not quite at that level yet, as her perplexing Adelaide Festival performance made clear.
Chris Botti and his band provided his audience with one of those affirming life experiences – where pushing yourself out of your comfort zone to try something new brings high rewards.
