Four80East
by R. M. on 7/13/22The Youngstown Foundation Amphitheatre - YoungstownBoth the venue and concert were excellent. Add to that, the weather gave us a perfectly beautiful evening. Four80East was superb. The band was tight and the playlist was a wonderful mix of their catalog. Ron Deboer on keyboards and electronics directed the show with precision and joy. Tony Grace made percussion sounds I have not heretofore heard. The saxophone and guitar players each had solo riffs that were spot on with the rhythm of the others. This was my first foray into contemporary jazz music (if that’s what it was) and I owe it all to my girlfriend, who introduced me to the band. We flew in from Austin Texas. It was an experience I shall not forget.
