Me too. Too much ego from the other players. Can't say a bad word about Chick - or about McBride - but seriously there was a lot of musical .... 'self gratification'. And was I the only one in the concert hall who was disgusted at the fact the ushers seemed to think it was okay to let people in mid-concert, mid-piece, and roam the aisles with torches spying on people taking photos in such a way that was highly distracting to the music? Thankfully this doesn't sum up the state of British concert going, but I couldn't believe how many people thought it was okay to wander around the concert hall in the middle of pieces of music. It was like watching musical chairs. I wish we'd had a chance to hear a little more of Chick's musicality, as we did last time when he played London with Gary Burton. It could have been so great.
