Phenomenal artist. The trio just fed off each other’s energy the entire set. The crowd was engaged and respectful of the listening environment. The dinner buffet included with the $100 ticket was way above expectations. Kudos to the doubletree. It has been several years since we attended a show here. We will be back!! We can’t wait to hear and experience Emmet on the Jazz Cruise next January!!
