I was at Wolf Trap last night and totally enjoyed Marcus Miller’s performance. Nothing unusual there.
I have no words to describe how impressed I was with the young Alex Han on sax. Man! did he perform! WOW! Only 22 years old and can play this kind of music with so much enthusiasm; just outright passion was simply amazing and enjoyable. You could easily tell he was enjoying himself as much as we were enjoying his sounds.
Last night’s performance drew a spontaneous standing ‘O’ from the crowd.
Great job Marcus! Come see us again soon. Please.
