Which concert did you attend?: | 50 Years Swingin’ with Ed Wilson |
How many CWS concerts have you attended?: | This was my first one |
Which was your favourite piece on this program?: | MacArthur Park |
Why did you like that piece? : | It was brilliantly performed and the musicians gave it their all. I had the pleasure of hearing the Daly Wilson Big Band play this piece 50+ years ago so it brought back some great memories. I’ve always enjoyed hearing this piece of music played well and this performance was superb and made more memorable with Ed Wilson out front on trombone. |
Were there any other pieces that came a close second?: | Possibly the two Beethoven pieces simply because they took me out of my comfort zone. It’s good to be challenged sometimes ! |
What would you say to someone thinking about coming to CWS for the first time?: | Definitely get to a CWS concert. It’s well worth the effort because their level of musicianship is astounding. Their music lifts your spirits. |
