Does Not Suffice
Her drummer/singer Neil Morgan opened the show. The performance and atmosphere was probably the best of the four times I've seen her (third time for this tour). However, the mix was a bit off, at least from the fifth row. The vocal mic at the piano was low but the one for the trombone was much too high compared to the rest of the instruments. All in all it was an amazing show.
