Christian McBride and Antonio Sanchez joined forces with 7-time grammy award winning Path Metheny to bring Jazz to Sunny Singapore. Mann....are they great of what! $110 for central DD34 seats right behind the mixer. Pat played to expectations...the usual melodious lines with fast paced licks lace. Christian, one of most wanted bassists in the world, played effortlessly. It was Antonio that blew me away. I've seen many drummers, dishing up solos of great energy, mixing high-level technical rolls, double taps, 'out' rhythms to their repertoire. Antonio didn't even seem to try very hard. This is what I like and admire, playing with minimal effort, yet measured and controlled beats, never attempting to overplay. Only gripe was the sound crew upped Pat's guitar so high that the bass and drums got buried on many ocassions, shall email Benson about that...
till the next Mosaic Fest, Adioss!
