Review: Jazz Combo
Thinking of jazz music usually provokes thoughts of saxophones, and saxophones were definitely evident in the recent University of Indianapolis Jazz Combo concert. The combo included three saxophone players, a piano player, a bass player and a drum player. While all did their part, the focus during the first half of the concert was on the saxophone players. There were saxophone solos in every song, lightly backed up by bass and quiet drum beats. Though in the background during most of the concert, the bass player and drummer carried most of the show, playing almost every moment that anyone else was playing. There was a nice change of pace late in the show when bass, drum and piano solos were showcased. Towards the end of the show there was also a drum solo, which showed the incredible talent of the drummer. The audience showed their appreciation for the talent of the night, as they clapped following every song and solo.
