Folly

The pairing of guitarist Bill Frisell with the legendary Lee Konitz was one of the most exciting and challenging performances I've witnessed in Kansas City. As I wrote in my review of the show for Patchchord, it was improvisational music of the highest order. In addition to Saturday’s jazz performance, the Folly Theater was the site for a classical recital on Friday and an r&b show Sunday. It’s reassuring to see 12th Street’s grand old dame getting a workout. Still, I’d like to see anyone with an expansive waistline try to fit into one of the seats in the upper balcony.
