The incredible Leslie Uggams took the Southern Theater stage with the Columbus Jazz Orchestra for an incredible night of song and magic. Ms. Uggams looking fit and in fine voice took the audience through the golden days of jazz and r &b, including a look at the Apollo Theater in it's heyday of the 40s and 50s. Another fine performance from the Columbus Jazz Orchestra, and with Leslie Uggams, it was a night to remember!

I brought my 90 year old father with dementia to hear both the Columbus Youth Jazz Orchestra and the Columbus Jazz Orchestra play. Under the direction of Todd Stohl, it was unbelievable to me that high school students could perform Duke Ellington that well. It was super enjoyable. Then we were treated to the Columbus Jazz Orchestra doing Duke Ellington music. I haven't seen my father more alive and happy in a long time. Excellent music can really soothe the soul and raise you to a place of joy. The sounds were out of sight. You're missing out on a great treat in Columbus if you haven't heard these guys!!!!

The evening of jazz was very enjoyable except for the three women next to us who screamed loudly during and after each song. Ultimately, we had to move our seats because they distracted our enjoyment of the concert. It was a delight to see Earl Klugh live after listening to his music for 20 years.

Until we moved to a warmer climate three years ago, we had been members for over 10 years. We returned for an OSU graduation, and were greatly pleased to be able to attend a JAG concert. We thoroughly enjoyed the concert. But the big thrill was hearing the band again. I can go to jazz clubs where I now live and hear good musicians in small groups. But for me, it is not the same as hearing an outstanding big band like the Jazz Arts Group

The Leslie Uggams concert was one of the best I've seen in Columbus. Ms. Uggams is one of the rare performers who does everything with a touch of class. Her singing voice is beautiful and so is she. Her song selections were classic. The orchestra was incredible and it was truly a memorable evening.

The Columbus Jazz Orchestra with Leslie Uggams put on a performance I will never forget. The music before Leslie came on stage was fresh and the orchestra leader and members were very entertaining. I was wondering if Leslie would be as good as I remembered her and found her to be just as strong voiced and personable as ever. If she ever comes back to Columbus, I will definitely attend.

Favorite moment: The young Hank Marr High School Jazz Award winner - Chase Potter - was spectacular! @

Opening act(s): CJO started, was then joined by Hank Marr winner Chase Potter, then Leslie Uggams was featured the 2nd act with CJO. The gal is a consummate pro and can really bring it! @
