Took my grandson to his second concert last night, hoping it wasn’t his last. We spent some time reviewing his classics on YouTube with great anticipation of seeing this act. It wasn’t to be. I have been a musician almost my entire life. I approach music without any expectations but this was a mess. The Y group was an experimentation in modern chamber music. Good young musicians but very disorganized and not of any real entertainment value. They needed a band leader of which Hornsby fell short. Following the intermission, I think like many in the audience we were willing to give this another look and listen. When an entire row got up and left their seats, it wasn’t to get any better as things went from bad to worse. An artist should use his audience as an indication of how he is being received. When they applaud a classic tune, That’s the Way it Is, of which there were two (2) that I recognized, it might be an indication of what we were there to enjoy. When an audience leaves mid stream, and the performer dismisses his audience as he did several times, it’s time to reassess. Too bad as had he used the ensemble group which included horns, cello and violins to compliment his classic songs it could have been a great show. A band needs a leader and this fell short on so many levels.
