Great concert but a baby
by Sue on 10/16/23Jimmy’s Jazz and Blues Club - PortsmouthJoey Alexander is amazing. Third time we've seem him and he gets better all the time. His fellow musicians were awesome as well. Wish the concert had been a bit longer but guess one can just play at his intensity for just so long! The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that the venue allowed someone to bring a baby. Unbelievable. Thank goodness we weren't next to the table, but could still hear it at times. So distracting for the artists. Blame on two fronts: first, the parents for even THINKING of taking a baby to a performance like this. Secondly Jimmy's ALLOWED it! Cannot believe that they don't have an age limit. I feel sorry for folks who were seated next to the baby and had paid good money to (or try) to listen to this wonderful performer. At the beginning the announcer makes a statement of telling people to keep their conversations to a minimum during the performance. Counterintuitive to letting a a baby admitted. Jimmy's needs to immediately do something in not allowing babies into the venue.
