O’s Notes: Beautiful Jazz is A Private Concert featuring pianist Christian Jacob. He performs thirteen popular songs arranged to suit his hands. Jacob takes us on a spirited jaunt for “Surrey with the Fringe on Top”, just one example of his jovial spirit. It contrasts with the peaceful vibe of the opener “How Long Has This Been Going On” that lulls you in for the set. This is much more than a restaurant performance from a fake book. Christian makes each tune fresh, perky and entertaining.
