Joe LaBarbera and his quintet made amazing music Saturday evening at the Boston Court in Pasadena - mostly Joe's diverse and interesting compositions. Guaging by the audience response, I was not the only one who felt this way. One of my friends commented on the "synergy" of the group as they took individual spotlights and played seamlessly together - a tribute to LaBarbera's gracious style as the band's leader. All five players are modern musician masters! I strongly suggest catching their act the next time they play locally - which is not so often as their individual talents are sought after for gigs and tours all over the world.
I would rate this event a 5 star! The venue was fantastic and easy to find. The room was intimate with good acoustics, staff friendly and all around great place.
The best part was the music. Joe's group was fantastic, engaging and their synergy was amazing.
We loved it!
