#JITG11 #Jazzinthegardens ~ Review of Jazz in the Gardens 2-day concerts

March 19, 2016 - Saturday

  • We arrived late to find that the show did begin on time as scheduled.
    • The Average White Band gave a good performance 
    • Michael McDonald gave a fantastic show and was my surprise performer for the evening. His voice sounded exactly like his recordings that were played on the airwaves back in the day.  I would definitely recommend going to see this artist in person and plan to see him again in the future
    • Kool & The Gang was somewhat of a disappointment. Their initial performance fell flat but as they continued the show it picked up but never got to the point of my expectations. I use to love this group back in the day but something is now missing.  I do not think I would pay to see them perform again.
    • Charlie Wilson, of course lived up to his headliner status. He was absolutely wonderful! He exceeded my expectations and I would recommend this artist to anyone that loves R & B music. The only negative was that his performance started very late and most people were tired and ready to head out. The timing makes a long day for everyone which is not good for the performer when large groups of people are walking out while Charlie Wilson is giving a dynamic performance.
March 20, 2016 - Sunday

  • We arrived a little late to find once again that the show began on-time.
    • Fred Hammond gave a good performance but it seemed short.
    • Brian Culbertson was fantastic as he was last year! I would pay to see him every year and hope that they bring him back again. If you have the opportunity to see him take it. He is scheduled to perform at the Seabreeze Festival in April in Panama City, FL
    • Janelle Monae was good and I am not sure what else to say about her and the performance.
    • Kenny Babyface Edmonds gave a wonderful performance, which I anticipated he would. 
    • Usher was good but it appears he left his performance team and energy back home in Atlanta. He was very stripped down, casual and very little glitz, performance and I was just a little disappointed.  Don't get me wrong...he is good but I feel he was not at his best.
