StLJN has had a number of search engine hits over the past couple of days from people looking for a review of the Maynard Ferguson tribute concert held Wednesday night at the Touhill Performing Arts Center. I was not able to attend the show myself, and so far there's been nothing in the Post-Dispatch, leading me to believe that they did not send a reviewer.
Fortunately for those who'd like to know more about what went on, Ferguson's fans are discussing the show in some detail on the message board associated with the late trumpeter's Web site. You can read their reviews and comments in threads here and here, and see some photos from the concert here. (Anyone can read the messages, but you have to register in order to post.) There are too many comments to even attempt to summarize, but the overall impression is that the evening was a fitting memorial for the man many fans, friends and sidemen past and present called the "the Boss."
RIP Michael Cuscuna

Thank you for providing the threads to the MF fan comments of what was a tremendous tribute to the Boss. Unfortunately, until I found your site, it was difficult to get feedback of the event to those unable to make it. Best regards.
Glad to be of service, stare jad. Thanks for reading StLJN.
