His new album The Hard Way has just been released to positive reviews and initially promising sales and he surely made many more converts at this Toronto Jazz Festival appearance his biggest gig here to date.
Sometimes, the best shows are the ones that are comfortable journeys of familiar grooves that connect to the audience at a visceral level rather than to intellect and brings happiness just in the way it grooves.
If the hassle of traveling brought any stress on the British blue-eyed soul singer, the stage seemed to take it away—even after a twenty-one song set list, this one still had it in him to keep the house blowin’.
