Last night Caitlin, Kent and I went to see Chris Botti perform at the brand new Town Toyota Center in Wenatchee. Chris is an amazing trumpet player who can create such great moods with his music. Kent especially enjoyed the concert because it was full of great jazz music that was definetely on the same level as the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival that we attend every year. We came away amazed at the incredible musicians in his group. We were amazed at the speed of the drummer, musicianship of the piano player, and the amount of relaxed and fun atmosphere created by the guitar and bass player. Chris Botti was so great to the Wenatchee High School jazz band that had played in the lobby before the concert. On the last piece he had them come up to the front of the stage and watch from there. I'm sure that will be a moment they will always remember. It was a really amazing concert and we feel so lucky to have a new venue to see such great entertainment! Now we need to go see our local hockey team the Wenatchee Wild play there and maybe Disney on Ice.
