a great summer night of smooth jazz, one of the best jazz shows i've been to. saxes blasting, guitars wailing and a cool touch on the piano.
Very movable music with emotion. The saxophone solos and harmonies were inspiring.
Guitar & Saxes was truly awesome, the blend of music from Guitars to Piano & of course Saxes was GREAT. Jessy J was a great addition to the show. And Jeff Golub still has it, what a great Guitar Player. Jeff Lorber is one the best Piano players I have ever herad. And Euge Groove has to be one of the best Sax players around. Cant wait to see them again, I hope they come back to Chicago reel soon
energetic and yet calming musicat the same time focoused for a creshindo of harmoney
Navy Pier's Skyline Stage was graced with smooth jazz artists Jeff Golub, Jeff Lorber and new comer Jesse J at the recent concert in June. Headliner Euge Groove mixed it up with Golub, Lorber and Jesse J in a sensational tour de force of smooth jazz. Jeff Golub showed his blues and jazz roots as well as some very nice rock licks on the guitar. Jeff Lorber showed us why he has been a fusion and smooth jazz mainstay for 20+ years with his tight piano and synthesizer. Jesse J made her presence known with her sexy sax sounds and lovely melodies such as "Tequila Moon" and "Turquois Street." But it was Euge Groove that I came to see and he did not disappoint! Euge played such hits as "Livin' Large" and "Religify" and had the fans on their feet and dancing in the aisles. No one walked away from this outstanding concert disappointed. Wanting more music, yes, but absolutely satisfied with what they had heard.
Guitars and Saxes was a refreshing night out and well worth the money, time, and effort. The band came out one at a time and featured a hit tune from each individual act and then alternated throughout the gig. They played with passion, flair, and showmanship. Euge Groove took on the role of getting the crowd into it and truly "worked up a sweat." Jessy provided the looks and down to earth part of the show by revealing her modest but stylish outfit was from Target. The two Jeffs added studio precision and superb keyboards and guitar to a well rounded blend of smooth jazz. The venue provided additional enjoyment and despite a late start, proved to be a worthy host. Comfortable seats, good acoustics, and reasonable prices combined with the excellent smooth jazz to make this a memorable occasion. My wife who isn't an overly huge jazz fan commented on how talented, fun, and tight this band was for being a random collection of artists. True indeed.
This was an excellent show. I can not stop listening to Huge Groove. It was something missing - WNUA announcers. Hopefully we will get more shows like this in the future. Welcome 87.7FM.
Guitars and Saxes, was a relaxing event. I had no idea what I going to, but it was a fun filled night. Very romantic night under the stars.
As expected and delivered, Guitars and Saxes was a great show !! Euge Groove took control of the stage and delivered a great performance and even made us laugh with his stories and jokes. There was great chemistry between all of the performers even though the show was not polished.
Guitars & Saxes smooth jazz concert at Navy Pier makes summer in Chicago for me. There's nothing like enjoying your favorite artists in an outdoor, lakeside venue on a beautiful evening in Chicago. I wish there were more smooth jazz concerts at Navy Pier during the summer in Chicago.
Overall, a nice show. Jeff Golub, Huge Groove and Jessey were great ! The guy on the audio board could have been a lot more attentive to microphone needs by Jessey J. He was slow to adjust her microphone properly
been listening to euge for a while & his concert was GREAT! Jessy J weell shes HOT & can jam
Great concert with a good mix of talent on the Sax including newcomer Jessy J (she is so fine). First time seeing Euge G. live as I just missed him on 2 previous occasions near my city, so I traveled 300 miles to see him. The 2 Jeff's (Golub and Lorber) performed as expected being veteran musicians in top form. This is a must see combo if they are in or near your city.
The concert was awesome!!!! One of the best I have attended. Uge Groove is the man!!!! Jessy Jay is an up and coming superstar. I have no accolades good enough to describe Jeff Golub and Jeff Loerber. I hope I spelled all the names right. The backup muscians were great also. It was like they had been playing together for years. I recommend seeing Guitars and Saxes to everyone.
Great show as always at the Skyline Stage. The entertainers were fantastic. We had 2nd row center tickets and they really played to the crowd. The sound was very good also.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at the Guitars and Saxes show in June. We loved Jessy J as well as all the musicians. Jeff Golub, Jeff Lorber and Euge Groove were phenomenal. A great mix of talent that really came through on stage. This was our first trip to the Keswick and were very happy with the whole experience. Hopefully we can come back again soon! Please bring Jessy back as we have become big fans of her's since seeing her in Reading for the Berks Jazzfest a few years ago.
Great Music in an out door setting. See you next year!!!!!
Every time we go to the skyline at navy pier we always see a great concert . It's the best place to see one, and it was great one again.
I thought the concert was great, I especially like the venue and hope to see more concerts there in the future. I especially like smooth jazz at that venue.
great music in a relaxed close knit setting,like having them play at your house.
