Terrific jazz music, contrived show
by alansshows on Monday, Sep 17th, 2012 at 11:56 amAs far as the music goes, this is one terrific show. Both Pete and Will Anderson are outstanding on all three of the instruments they play: saxophone, clarinet, and flute. And they are backed up by four other very talented musicians: Jon-Erik Kellso on trumpet, Ehud Asherie on piano, Devin Dorn on drums, and Clovis Nicolas on bass. But so far as everything else about this production goes â the TV and movie video-clips, the artificially created similarity between the Dorseys and the Andersons, the dialog on stage â well, not so much. Indeed, I don't think anything would have been lost had the show simply consisted of this Anderson Brothers Sextet playing a variety of Dorsey Brothers classics, without the shtick. I have posted an expanded review of this show and many other Broadway, off Broadway and off off Broadway productions on my blog www.aseatontheaisle.blogspot.com.
