Bossa Blue Presents James Taylor: ReIMAGINED
FRI Dec 6th, 2024
Doors 6pm | Show 7pm
Brad Cole brings us JT's music not merely copied, but performed and reimagined with a great band led by an engaging singer and musician. I was blown away to hear so many of the songs I played with James night after night given a fresh new twist while maintaining the original emotion and musical "feel" of this great body of work.

James Taylor: ReIMAGINED
Band leader and award winning singer-songwriter Brad Cole notes, “The James Taylor Songbook is a treasure chest of melody, delicate structure and intimate cinematic storytelling. I’d put his songwriting in the same class as Cole Porter and Johnny Mercer, not to mention the ‘A list’ of his contemporaries. The fun and challenge here is to update each composition and performance in a compelling way with this extraordinary group of musicians. Every tune has found its own unique blend of Bossa Nova, Samba, Jazz, Rock, Soul, and Blues, all rich with harmony, and let’s not mince words here, this show rocks!!!!”
