Cool Jazz to End the Summer



The club was full this last Thursday as John Farnsworth lead the band. When the music started I was pulled to the stage by the intensity, the sharpness, the burst of melody, rhythm, and sound in the air. John is such a seasoned, smooth, and powerful player he takes care of his audience and brings us along on his ride. He opened with his own compositions, "Street Beat" and "The Princess of the Mountain." John Webber on bass played his composition "Mantillom." Jason Brown effortlessly backed the band on drums. And Carlton Holmes was dazzling on the piano. His solo during "Solar" knocked me out. Jazz Nights at Ibiza Lounge is a chance to feel the music, the night, your soul, and the passion of committed, fearless artists. John will be back next week with a new band and more extraordinary music.
