Seattle JazzAlley Concert 2-10

Hi:

Wonderful concert last night. Madeleine and band performed all the songs
that the local jazz station, KPLU, had been playing.  I hadn't
purchased any of her albums and I only knew those songs.  I
enjoyed 'em.  

What I really enjoyed though, was all the suprises.  A song by Bob
Dylan, a song about farming, a song about Paris.  I even enjoyed
it when the bass player's cell phone went off during the first
sentimental bars of the last song.  The arrangement and delivery
of those songs I had not heard before really grabbed me.

One thing that was distracting - the keyboards seemed to have their
volumes turned to 11 when everyone else was at 6.  Maybe it was
where we were seated (behind the keyboard).  

Anyways, great show!  I definitely need to buy the album to heard what else I've been missing.

Cheers,

Klay

Seattle, WA

	I was at Madeleine's show Tuesday in Seattle. Like you, I was sitting behind the keyboards and found them to be a little overwhelming. Guess I'll know to get there earlier next time so I can get a better place in line. Anyway, I'm fairly new to Madeleine's music so I don't have much insight to offer. The first time I heard her I thought she could give Billie Holliday a run for her money in a contest to see who sounds the most like Billie Holliday , but by the end of the show Tuesday, Madeleine had really carved out her own space in my ear. I'm looking forward to hearing more from her.
