WHAT AUDIENCES SAY ABOUT FIFTH ELEMENT LIVE SHOWS: |
CONNECTING WITH THE AUDIENCE: In the words of Spike Wilmer (proprietor of Smalls in NYC), “Some jazz musicians treat music and art as if it is above the audience…but I believe the essence of jazz is that it is a shared experience between the musician and the audience”. Fifth Element is dedicated to connecting with our audience beyond the performance of each tune. As part of the experience, listeners are drawn in to jazz that is not only musically accessible but enhanced by delivery of the story behind each song. The energy, joy and fun the band brings to each performance gives authenticity to this commitment.
