Mindi Abair and Kirk Whalum

Mindi Abair, is one of those Saxophonists who when she takes to the stage, she always makes a lasting impression. Some people may refer to her as selling out but she is positively just breaking down the boundaries that pigeon-hole jazz in the confined space that it is and transforms it so effortlessly into something that appeals to the masses in such a refreshing style.

Seeing her do her thing live is truly remarkable. She holds the audience so well with her instrument, especially with her own material, which is just truly captivating. The way that she plays, tells a story from start to finish, including all of the detail. It is no surprise that she has produced 10 number 1 radio singles and 5 major label solo releases that have climbed right to the top of the contemporary Jazz Charts, all of which, she plays this evening, to this fantastically receptive crowd who cheer her on throughout this explosive set. “In Hi-Fi Stereo” is one of the biggest songs of the set, with patrons even singing along!

You Can't go wrong listening to Kirk Whalum.

A sporty dude, sometimes with a gospel bent.

Toe tapping, inspiring, smooth.

Throw in a little humor and you will be

feeling his spirit of joy in every song.
ENJOY!
