Greed.....
by M1 on 10/4/22Aretha's Jazz Cafe - DetroitRating: 5 out of 5Good morning, I had never seen Mr. Cobham in concert, so when I saw he was coming to Detroit I was elated - then to see that he was coming to the Music Hall what could be better? Right?
1ST let me state that for my first time seeing him, he was TRULY GREAT particularly at 70 +, I knew that with a catalog of music as enormous as his I wasnt going to hear all my favorites.
The Crosswinds Quartet was extremely on point and a wonderful accompaniment to Mr. Cobham.
My issue is the seating arrangement at the Aretha Jazz Cafe/Closet - this area was not meant to seat all the people that attended the Saturday show! Four chairs to a little table was waaaay too much! Another chair had to be added to the table that I mistakely thought was a table for two..
Between the fact we were almost in each other laps, the waiters running back and forth, patrons themselves walking to get to the bar it was not the evening I had hoped for .
I titled my review Greed because whoever runs the Music Hall fully understood the number of people who would want to attend this concert and should have either made changes in the seating arrangements or added an early show or used the full size auditorium.. No thought for covid here.....
You just never know....
