Nov. 18, 2009, the eight-piece Gregg Gelb band performed two concerts at a local high School and we received these comments,
"Gregg,
Thank you so very much for the wonderful performances at
Fuquay-Varina High School last week. Our older son was able to attend the
first block show and gave us a glowing report. I also thought
you would enjoy reading the comments from our principal, Edward McFarland:
'The
band was incredible. I enjoyed the music so much and Gregg was
great. He taught jazz history and explained the background and context of
each selection - which made each tune that much more interesting. His wife
has a wonderfully sultry blues voice - I was not expecting vocals. The
kids really enjoyed the program and were so well behaved. They took
part in the program, asked and answered questions, and overall were
terrific. Thank you for taking the time and putting in the work to plan
such an event for our kids. It was worth the effort."
