Music reviews of A Night of Ukulele Jazz Live at McCabe's
Music Review: An enchanted evening of live Ukulele Jazz
Rating: 5 Stars
This album features two ukulele heroes doing what they do best in front of an appreciative live audience. Lyle Ritz is of course one of the originators of Ukulele Jazz. In this environment, Ritz is joined by another innovator. Having released an album of ukulele interpretations of Bach, Herb Ohta is a like mind when it comes to pushing the uke envelope. The first five songs feature Ritz. As would be expected, he plays 'Lulu's Back in Town,' one of the quintessential Jazz Ukulele tunes. He also does a rendition of Antonio Carlos Jobim's 'Triste.' The next four songs comprise the Ohta set. The last three pieces document the collaboration. Together, Ritz and Ohta play 'Stompin' at the Savoy' and 'Fly me to the Moon.' The third musician is Richard Simon, who plays the acoustic bass. Not playing luau music for tourists, it is Simon's contribution that puts the exclamation point on this as a Jazz endeavor. As far as the venue goes, there could not be a more appropriate mainland location for this group. The liner notes are illuminating with respects to biographical information and a song by song analysis of this particular show. Sonically, all three line-ups are intelligent yet relaxing. Indeed, "Live at McCabe's" works well for active listening or as mellow background music. The only potential drawback may be the volume of the audience's between song clapping. The Ukulele Jazz experience has been well documented in the studio. Thanks to this performance, it is also a joy to hear it on stage.
