Last night, the Monterey Festival All Stars at McFarlin Auditorium, Dallas. The rhythm section was okay; and I'm not a particular fan of Benny Green on piano. There was too much of Nnena Freelon's vocals. And is it really necessary to introduce the musicians 20 times in the course of a concert? But it was a pleasure to see 82 year old James Moody. The whole proceeding was elevated, however, by the fantastic playing of Terence Blanchard, who seems to have reached quite a peak in his playing. The highlight of the concert was the quartet performance by Blanchard of two pieces from his Katrina suite.
