If you missed you, you need to slap yourself. Consonance was off the chain today at the 25th Annual Fillmore Jazz Festival. They perform a one and a half hour set of great song, dynamite solos and had the crowd standing at the end. They also did their "Good News Blues #2" which was a blues inspired gospel written by Brother Mack Williams and sung by Bobby Reed. Bobby use to be the lead singer for the blues band, The Right Kind, and he was the lead singer on their smash hit, "Why Do You Have To Lie". Well Bobby isn't singing secular music anymore, but he sure can sing gospel. Also, their redition of "A Change Is Gonna Come" was excellent with tight harmony and a great arrangement. But they saved the best for last when they ended with "When I Get In Glory" with Mack Williams on the lead. Mack walked the ailse and had the crowd dancing and clapping at the end. What a show! You need to catch them next week at the Hayward Russell City Blues Festival on Sunday at 11 am. If you don't you will miss a treat. by Jackie Taylor
