Simply Elegant
I have longed for a classy joint to have dinner or a drink while
watching live music. Sitting quietly and enjoying the scene. And it’s been here
in SB the whole time - hidden inside SOhO. I just had to find the right
music.
I ventured out of my norm in an effort to cover a larger variety of
music for this blog (otherwise it all would be reviews of punk rock shows). I
have heard great things from Santa Barbara locals about Rebecca Kleinmann, so
thought this the perfect opportunity to catch a show and review something
different.

Rebecca is a well known flutist, incorporating eclectic world music
into the experience. Her new album, Raio de Sol, is a saucy upbeat fusion of
jazz and Brazilian flare. Backed by Dusty Brough (guitar), Miles Jay (bass),
and Julien Cantelm (drums), together
they created a soft worldly sound that was sophisticated and evolved. Dusty’s
flamenco fused jazz guitar accompanied the flute notes in a tango of sound,
turning SOhO into a classy sit-down nightclub.
It was so nice to just sit and absorb the quiet sophistication of music.
It was simply elegant.
