Great concert. Cohen has matured quite a bit since we last heard him.Written on Oct 27 2010

The music was eclectic as described by other reviewers. The auditorium was very nice/ comfortable, but the sound system was a bit "bright" for my taste. The percussionist was skilled and unique...his seat was amped and used in lieu of a conventional bass drum. I would like to have heard more of the oud, a stringed instrument which produced an interesting sound. Lastly, I have to agree with the reviewer who indicated Cohen was a little heavy handed with his criticism of certain members of the audience.Written on Oct 26 2010

An exciting mixture of jazz, middle-eastern melodies and traditional Jewish tunes. The musicians were outstanding performers. The percussion included Arabic instruments and many kinds of cymbals. The blend of the voices of Cohen and the female vocalist was perfect. I was one of the people bothered by a noisy toddler near me so I appreciated Cohen asking them to leave.Written on Oct 26 2010
