Loved the show and the cool approach to some epic Beatle tunes. Lots of fun.

Steve, Alphonso, Bobby Lee and Pete were spectacular, playing as a band of colleagues, a set of talented musicians who bring light to audiences with the rhythms and harmonies of world class rock, in a jazz vein.
Mr. Kimock demonstrated his talents on several different instruments, from a lap steel setup, to a Fender Strat, among others. From the first strains of "Shakedown Street" as an opener, his use of his pedalboard were delightful, as he plucked, and strummed, fingered the neck and worked the songs with a substantial mix of sustain and tremolo, vibratto and crisp clean jamming with his fellow musicians.
Likewise, Mr. Johnson, led the band in commanding fashion, holding his pauses with a sensitivity to the tempo, providing a low end to the music, on his polished-mirrored electric bass. While he didn't quite bring any slap and pop jazz beats to thump along with the all too familiar song set, his jazzy vibe was clear as a bell. During introductions to the band mates at the end of the first set, the statuesque lead, in his leather hat, paid tribute to the four sound and lighting engineers, and support staff that make the performance look simple.
Mr. Rodgers stood steadfastly on the audience's right, playing the high end tones in jam-jazz fashion with either a guitar or a banjo, depending on the sonic tones the song called for to please the audience's appetite. The harmonies, especially of "Let It Grow" were rousing, through to the instrumental elements that clearly had the audience imagining other vocal versions about "...dancing on the head of a pin...," with resounding exclamations of "I am. I am. I am. I am."
Mr. Lavezzoli, the congenial percussionist, demonstrated finesse with over a full minute of simple, soft tapping on a single cymbal in a steady beat, that resonated throughout the Copernicus Center, from the floorboards, up (see what I did there?!). His work around the kit held the band together and maintained the ambiance of the others instruments as though he was playing a complex series of duets, all at once. The band, "Jazz Is Dead" were held together with the sanguine tones of thousands of shows that had come before for each of these rock and roll professionals. The heart that they each put into their performance prompted young ladies to twirl and spin in a fairytale's universal connection to the muses. Whether the vocalizations of "Music to India" invocations by barefoot Pete, accompanied with Alphonso inspired or confused the listeners in attendance, no one walked away missing the point... "JAZZ IS DEAD!"

About Steve Kimock
Steve Kimock
Kimock’s ability to articulate tone, melody and emotion into music combined with technical brilliance has earned Kimock the title “Guitar Monk”( Relix Magazine) for his commitment to guitar, and his ability to make it speak with its own original voice.
His variegated brand of guitar, alternately subdued and vibrant, defies easy categorization. At times prog rock/jazz-inflected and at others gypsy-straightaway, his crystal clear tone has been captivating audiences for more than thirty years.
Kimock co-founded the Jazz/Rock fusion band Zero in the 80’s, KVHW in the 90’s and now tours under his own name. He is widely embraced by fans as one who carries the free-form torch of improvisation, through an extensive catalog of original material in his own bands, as well as through live performances with so many esteemed musicians. Kimock has performed alongside the likes of Bruce Hornsby (and can be heard on two of Hornsby’s releases), John Cipollina Jerry Garcia and all members of the Grateful Dead, as well as Peter Frampton, Bonnie Raitt, The Allman Brothers, Buddy Miles, Buddy Cage, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, Bobby Vega, Martin Fierro , Joe Satriani, Baaba Maal, Angelique Kidjo, Elvin Bishop, George Porter Jr., Steve Winwood, Derek Trucks, Ivan Neville, Grace Slick, Papa John Creach, Norton Buffalo, Amos Garrett, Warren Haynes, Hadi Al Sadoon, Stephen Perkins, Nicky Hopkins, Freddie Roulette, and many more.
A relentless innovator as well as player, Kimock's focus leads to guitar & amp craftsmanship. Over the past few years, he collaborated on a series of highly collected custom Two-Rock “Kimock Amplifiers” as well as a coveted ergonomic Scott Walker brand guitar - built in stereo.
His passion and devotion to performing live improvisation is matchless, and his unparalleled ability to embrace and capture a theater musically is the stuff of legends.
“Unconventional. Experimental. It's sort of the Steve Kimock way.” – CNN, 2009
