Live Review
Guy Forsyth is not your typical
band leader. The first thing that comes to mind when one speaks of a
three-piece R&B and jazz band is not Guy Forsyth. But rather
the fact that it is hard
to paste a label on this
power trio because when one listens to the band,
the first thing that comes to mind is "This guy can't make up his mind
what kind of music he wants to play".
One minute he's on the
banks of the Mississippi standing next to a man in a coat and tie and
the
next he's in the middle of the bar room singing accoustically about a
girl who has just f***ed up an entire relationship singing so soulfully
that the crowd is drawn to complete silence then brought to their feet
by the power of the band's music. Guy Forsyth is a singer, a
songwriter, a prophet, and a poet. Merely calling him an
entertainer would be selling him short. He and the guys have
surpassed the definition of musicians long ago.
