People Are Talking: UMS presents Ahmad Jamal at Hill Auditorium:
The man proved he could still swing at a ripe 81 years young.
However, as deep as my love for Hill Auditorium remains, I have a difficult time listening to a jazz quartet in that space. I think the intimacy and intensity of a performance like last night’s has a tough time translating to such an expansive (and majestic!) room. I would love to see UMS present jazz in smaller spaces.
In any case, great music, good show! Thanks, Mark+Co.!
