Phronesis, a bass player led trio with a lyrical piano player and frenetic drummer, were last night’s hit for us. So much music and action packed dialog. They made the cavernous Christ Church sound good.
Youn Sun Nah & Ulf Wakenius came on like a morphine drip at the Lutheran Church opening with a slow, minimal thumb piano and voice version of “My Favorite Things.” Pristine and somehow detached from their material they managed to take the hurt out of “Hurt,” the NIN’s song that Johnny Cash killed before he died but Youn Sun Nah has an absolutely amazing voice and she delivered a completely unique take on Nat King Cole’s “Calypso Blues” and brought the house down. Her YouTube video of the song has twice as many views as Nat’s.
