As an original AWB Fan from back in the day, and my instant connection with them musically as a musician tied to both Jazz, R&B, and Funk, I loved them then..., and the current touring group did not disappoint. I had a great evening re-living an evening of some of my favorite music, including the timeline of selections played from their initial release all the way up to their most recent popular tunes, and of course all of their charted hits that for a group popular that far back, had a large portion of the house up and dancing and moving on their feet, fully engaged like I was.
I enjoyed their tribute selections to Maceo Parker and Joe Sample, from different musical genres, their reminder of a tune that Chaka Khan exploded on the charts with her vocals as a reminder that they were the original creators of the song and a note to give due credit where credit is due which is often not the case in music, so much respect!
Overall, I was not only impressed by their level of musicality together, their vocal quality and coordination together, and their overall stage energy, presence, showmanship, and personality and sincerity and level of exchange of energy with their audience.
To say the least... This was AWESOME!!!
