I saw the Brian Setzer Orchestra last night at the Gibson Theatre in Universal City in Holly wood. IT WAS AMAZING!! A good friend of mine (Steve) got tickets for us and we watched the show from 4th row. His orchestra is a jazz big band consisting of 6 saxes, 5 bones, 5 trumpets, drums, stand-up bass, two incredible back-up singers, and of course Brian Setzer on guitar. I have heard a lot of big bands in my time (Count Basie Orchestra, Woody Herman Orchestra, etc.) and this was definitely in the top 3. I also had no idea that Brian was such an incredible guitar player. He was ridiculous! And yes, I forgot my camera. Dang.....I never do that. So, this time no cool pics. You will just have to use your imagination. ~:)> If you get the chance to see this show DON'T MISS IT! Thanks Steve!
