2008.9.18. Swingin' with Marvin Hamlisch and Seattle Symphony. Celebrating the Jazz age. Featuring Nikki Yanofsky, a 14 year-old prodigy, and a local high school talent, Carl Majeau who soloed on clarinet, and a newly founded jazz band Four to the Floor with 4 kids from 4 different high schools, and the Jazz Ambassadors of US Army.
The girl has a fabulous voice, completely at ease in improvising, so was the 17 year-old clarinetist. What I don't like is the girl's outfit, and the blue trousers of the soldiers (an incoherent match with the dark navy blue of their jacket). Hamlisch was funny, talked in between every number. Overall, highly enjoyable.
