"In last night's performances, I couldn't help but notice an elevated, mutual connection and energy and sense of communication with the artists and audience over past shows.

The players all seemed to enjoy and delight in warmth with the audience more than their former usual levity.  I have to think and believe it was partly, if not directly due to a natural desire to share and express an uplifting emotional empathy and synergistic reaction to all the crap and negativity going on in our country and the world right now. 

Boogie-Woogie has always been, and remains, a warm, positive and inherently friendly form of uniquely American music, of which none is better suited.  I honestly feel the artists as well as the audience were openly expressing a more obvious and out-front, positive human emotion which really showed in their near cathartic reaction and enjoyment.  Otherwise, I don't know who enjoyed this show more, the audience or the artists?"

Our concert is dedicated to the memory of Herbert Wolfram, John Plut and Stephen Grand who lived a life of joy, creativity, love of music and dance. Their families are generous supporters of the festival.
