Pairing George Duke with Gerald Albright was sheer magic!!! Being a rather laid-back person, I came to SIT and enjoy the musical genius of both artists but ended up dancing in the space in front of my seat!!! This concert was the pick-me-up I needed to break the monotony of the week, or to begin the weekend on a higher note. Both men played some of their older classics as well as newer selections. Anyone who missed this show missed an outstanding and engaging performance by two men who were influenced by some of America's greatest jazz artists and who themselves continue the legacy of those artists.

This was a great event, and I would first off like to thank the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre and WCLK Jazz 91.9 for putting on a great show. The show was very soulful and covered many musical genres. The venue was great. I had upper level seats and still had a great time at the show.

Gerald and George were on it, doggone it!! The crowd was responsive and they both played to the audience. Even though the concert was in a large arena, both performers made us feel like we were in a much smaller setting, We listened, laughed, danced and had the best time with some of the best musicians on the jazz scene today.

This was the first time I attended a concert in the Cobb Energy Centre and was very pleasantly pleased at how nice it was. Great parking convenience and the theatre is wonderfully elegant. Both Gerald Albright and George Duke were off the chain. George came back and played an encore song which I had totally forgot about, "I want you for myself". Of course George tore the roof off the place with "Reach for it". Gerald was awesome also and had great stage presence.

Favorite moment: When he was playing "Rhyme or Reason" and he played both synthesizer and piano with both hands. The Master! @

Opening act(s): I thought the concert was great! Gerald Albright got the crowd going with some old-school tunes as well as something he had been working on in 2012-2013. It was great to be in the audience and here this smooth and mellow saxophonist! Keep groovin' Gerald. @

I thought the concert was great! Gerald Albright was great giving us some old-school tunes as well as new ones. George Duke was the master. George Duke's "Reach For It" album was the second album I had every bought-with my own money (Earth Wind and Fire was my first). So I've listened to George since I was in high school (I'm 54 now). George's unselfish musical style that lets the other musicians shine is classic. I would see him again and again. I listened to a G.D. cd on the way home--I couldn't get enough!

Took me back to my college days. Renewed my groove and helped shake the cobwebs off. George Duke and Gerald Albright are alive and well. They brought the house down and made good on the promise of making the Cobb Energy Center into a Convertible. My contemporaries were on their feet! Young folks would have learned what true partying is and where good music comes from!

Great show at country Club Hills! George & Stanley totally jammed, and the 21 year old drummer from Chicago was impressive. My high-lite was when I and other audience members were invited to sing on stage with George & Stanley I was the first person to attempt to sing the Mothership connection it was fun!!! If you are a true Jazz lover you must see this show!

The concert was outdoors and a perfect night. George Duke and Stanley Clark were GREAT! Their opening act Nick Cannon put on a supper show as well. There aren't too many performers left like George Duke and Stanley Clark so if you have an opportunity I strongly sugguest you check them out...

This concert was one of the favorite ones I have ever attended. I am a huge Stanley Clark fan and seeing him with George Duke was a huge bonus! They both were very entertaining, very engaging with the audience. This concert was worth every penny I spent on the tickets!

The weather was gorgeous, our seats were row 7, section B, dead center. What could be better? From start to finish, the concert was on point. The opening act was great, and kept the crowd happy and engaged. When Duke and Clark came out, it was ON! They did all their hits, and talked to the crowd like we were old friends. Sharing, laughing, teasing, joking...it was all good! There was a bit of a problem with Duke's keyboard leaning and it took the venue a minute to fix it, but he just turned to the piano and kept the show moving - not a second lost. These are musical performers - geniuses! The drummer was a 21 year old local who got 2 solos (one would have been enough), and the keyboardist was fantastic. Clark mesmerized me with his techniques on the bass cello and bass guitar. Duke is a master of accoustics. I had such a great time, it was one of the best concerts ever at CCHT.

I had the pleasure of seeing George and Stanley at the Country Club Hills Theatre.
The atmosphere was perfect.

The performance was excellent showing the range and depth of two of the most gifted musicians on the planet.
These two have the long habit of not playing their instruments, but playing with their instruments.
Truly amazing how many combinations of notes can come from 88 keys and just 4 strings.

Perhaps the best part of the show was listening to the drummer play. He is 21 years old, from the Chicago area, and has the opportunity to tour and play with seasoned and very professional musicians.

To their credit, George Duke and Stanley Clarke have a long history of bring new and upcoming musicians to the stage.
Having the opportunity to play with these two is an experience that can't be replaced.

The songs played moved the audience, swaying, dancing and singing along.
I welcome any opportunity to see these guys play.
Have gig?
Will travel!
