Dear Mr. Baker,
Please find below, my impression of the Soundproof Swing concert last Sunday.
I’ve been to a half dozen Soundproof Swing shows in the last few years, but this performance at the Alice Motorplex was the most fascinating I have ever seen. It seemed an old place for a jazz concert, but it was full of energy. I have never seen them so chatty with the crowd! If they were trying to build up harmony, it worked. The audience ate up every note, chord( 和弦), word, and stanza. The atmosphere was simple electric, and the open air was a surprisingly fine compliment(恭敬) to the music, played masterfully as always. A good time was had by all! Check their website(www. Spswing.com) for the next tour stop!
Thanks for the opportunity! Love your magazine!
