In a blatant attempt to assure his fans that this would not be another snooze-fest promoting his latest CD of jazz standards, the concert poster prominently promised that Boz would be playing "his hits" with his "full band." Beginning with "Hercules" from the "Slow Dancer" album, the playlist was just as advertised: anyone who came to hear "Lowdown" (and the handful of other songs that made the Top 40) got their money's worth. Boz was as silky smooth and engaging as ever, including a couple of songs from his "Dig" CD as well as a Fats Domino tune from "Come On Home," in his 90-minute set. While the "full band" did not include an actual horn section, Boz's rhythm section was as tight and polished as ever -- and his long-time backup vocalist, Monet, overlayed a magical sheen to the proceedings, as well as a searing solo of her own. There were even two encores, one of which included the obligatory and always wonderful "Loan Me A Dime." It all added up to a very safe and enjoyable evening with a true American musical treasure. Unfortunately, the absence of any songs from his three most interesting albums, the CBS releases from 1971 and 1972, coupled with the lack of a full horn section, prevented this show from equaling his previous performances in the Twin Cities. But hopefully he'll be back -- and soon!
