Steve Kimock

Outstanding show and Steve was superb!

What an amazing night with Zero!!

Great interpretation of the Beatles.

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!"

Excellent: for the GD fan who thinks there’s way too much singing and not enough instrumentals.

Beautiful read on some great tunes. This space is hot.

Amazing, see this band

Was really great had a blast ✌️❤️

Have always wanted to see Steve. Great musicians, all. Good vibe at Wilbur. Loved when our neighbors moved because the floor seats were so tight. Snagged their seats and had a great view of guitars and the talented hands playing them.

The amount of talent was surreal. It was beyond my wildest expectations. Bucketlist worthy🎶❣️

The band was on fire! The Brokedown Palace encore was a perfect ending to a phenomenal show!

Absolutely loved both acts! Have been listening to Steve's catalog since! Amazing talent!

Some searing guitars, magical keyboard work fabulous originals and classic covers made for a delightful performance.

Great show. Their never long enough! Could have listened all night!

Wasn't a Kimock show...he was part of Bob Weir's band. He was great as always.
