Club Night was always our favorite part of the GHJF, and we were very disappointed that they killed it a few years ago. But it was great to see it back this year. We had never yet been to the top floor of the new JUMP center, and what a great venue it was! Particularly at sunset as the city was starting to "light up". The Tony Monaco Trio was the highlight performance for us. In addition to his outstanding musicianship, his facial expressions and animation drive home again, the delights of seeing live music. A CD, as wonderful as it might be, could never capture the essence of the music like seeing it live. So three points of advice to the festival coordinators.
1. Keep Club Night
2. Keep the JUMP center as a venue.
3. Bring back Tony Monaco as often as you can get him to Boise!
