A week long festival of great music began here in Sultry Singapore and my pocket was full of tickets, well two anyway. Having already seen a certain Mr George Benson and followed up by John Legend, i was eager to add Carleen Andersen and Terry Callier to my list.
Having heard a few cds of Mr Callier I was eager to see if his live act came over as god as his cds....yes, i was not dissapointed in the least, when this cheeky old man came on stage my firstthought was get that stagehand off with his baggy jeans, wrinkled tee shirt and wrinkled face, then He spoke in a jazz club smokey voice and introduced His band to us all. Full of energy and coolness personified He took us thru' a set of classics and new arrangements, His band are superb and it was a great show.
Two days later and it was all systems go, Ms Anderesen took to the stage, Her minute frame hardly a match for Her awesome voice, from Her early days to today She still puts out an amazing array of songs, gospel inspired followed by the brit funk days of yesterday , a great show, a great personality and worth seeing! funksoulsister.
