Greg, as you know the concert was incredible. What was really fine for me - the show of support and love for one of Rochester's own, Joe Locke, and the respect that he showed for those who helped him as he grew into the musician he is today.
The physicality of his performance - WOW. I can't listen to any other vibist now without referencing Joe Locke. And I think I now understand why I hear others playing vibes and can hear them singing, grunting, growling, etc in the background. Tres cool.
The CD is phenomenal, amazing how it captures what we enjoyed at Hochstein.
