Jackie Greene on the Terrace
July 2nd, 2009
Just like last week for the Chicago Afrobeat Project show, it was yet another perfect night overhead for music on the terrace. On this night, Jackie Greene brought his get down rock and roll Americana sound and he meant it. The set was high energy and had the large crowd feeling the Thursday night before the 4th of July as more than another Thursday night, but this started people’s celebration weekend. Certainly a touch of the Dead’s “U.S. Blues” was thrown in there just to remind us where we were. Jackie’s band was making themselves known with stylist licks and giving people more of what they wanted~those finely crafty Jackie Greene tunes that the ones attached to the ears can seem to relate to. There were perfect moments to dance and other times to reflect, a great combination on a night made for us.

La La Means I Love you on Buddha Records. Picked up this album from the library with a couple of kid friends of mine and it was such a good time snapping to the rhythm with a 6 & 8 year old
