Since I am a big-time music and performing arts lover, I go to see many performances. It is now a rare occassion that a performance feels trully satifying. I can honestly say that Bilal's performance was extraordinary. He was beautiful to watch, and so able to convey the emotions contained in the music and lyrics. The cosy space of the Jazz Cafe made it a very intimate experience, and I felt connected to him and to the very responsive crowd throughout the evening. It was perfect.
