Concert Review
ZARO brings funky good time to Jazz in June
By Tom Ineck
LINCOLN, Neb.—A fair-weather capacity crowd of several thousand were in for a raucous and funky good time when the Fort Collins, Colo., quartet ZARO took the outdoor stage for the second of five 2009 Jazz in June concerts.
The June 9 performance was exuberant and high-volume, in both senses of the word, as the well-rehearsed band reeled off nearly 20 tunes in two 60-minute sets at a decibel level that took some getting used to, especially for those of us sitting up front. Once the ears had adjusted, however, it was pure listening pleasure.
For front man and Lincoln native Andrew Vogt, a versatile reed virtuoso, it seemed a pure pleasure to be playing for a hometown crowd, and he took every opportunity to show his appreciation, giving a shout-out to fellow alumni of Lincoln East High School and Pyrtle Elementary School and ending the concert with a “God bless Nebraska.”
