You can feel his connection to his jazz roots throughout the performance, especially when he trades riffs with Duke Robillard. It’s not just a concert; it’s more like a conversation between musicians. The pacing flows nicely, moving from mellow to upbeat, showcasing Bachman’s versatility. Plus, the setlist is a nice mix of his classic hits and jazz standards, which adds a layer of depth.
