THE "JAZZ FORUM" REVIEW



Late in the evening of October 26, 2000, Gene Perla, a splendid American double-bass player, and his Fine Wine Trio proved just how well jazz goes with the atmosphere of little jazz clubs. The more cigarette smoke and the more live tunes flowing from the tiny stage directly to the audience, the better it all gets. Gene Perla, Bobby Kapp (vocals and drums) and Rob Bargad (vocals and piano) charmed the crowd with their charismatic straightforward manner as well as with the character of the drummer (a hat in the fashion of our own Lew Jaszyn and the familiar mustache). But to the passionate audience even more appealing and much more important than the trio’s image was the music itself. Suggestive, expressive and touching, their tunes reverberated powerfully with emotion. One simply cannot remain unmoved by the bluesy jazz ballads sung by Bobby Kapp. What we need is just more music like that at next year’s Jazz Jamboree.
