One should almost always be given another chance and so tonight I checked out Grupo Calle Uno from Rochester,NY, once again. And, I was once again disappointed. Drinking and playing do not go hand in hand. Or it may just be something else...I may not have much musical training, but I definitely heard some decidedly unpleasant squawking from the brass, among other things.
Bye bye Grupo Calle Uno. You and I were never meant to be in the same room enjoying each others company.
And it is always great when one's opinion is seconded by others whom you value.
ReplyDeleteJohn told me: "At times their brass section can sound as though they'd been sucking on lemons.... uneven and off key."
Yipee, people are agreeing with me!
