I was remiss in not updating the post above with Kentric's name after the first comment let me know his name. I have (finally) corrected that and put in a link to Kentric's MySpace page as well. He is indeed an extraordinary musician, and I'm delighted to hear that he's a great son too! :-) Thank you _so much_ for taking the time to comment here.

His name is Kentric Morris from North Carolina. He is a great performer and even a greater son. I am his mother and I was the one that he was conversating with while doing his drum solo. At the time, I didn't know that he was already on stage performing, so I just called to wish him well on his show (as Najee and the band always does an excellent performance), but he did not allow a phone call to come between his drum set and entertaining others. So, here's a shoutout to Kentric, Najee and the entire band. Keep doing what you do, the world loves hearing you!!! Yes, the drummer for Najee is awesome!

I felt terrible that I didn't remember the names (I'm getting older) and that I couldn't easily find them. As I mentioned in the post, they were all great, and Kentric Morris was simply amazing! As for the acoustics, they were wonderful! They were wonderful for the Al Jarreau set as well. I've been to the Beacon now four times in the past 13 months. The Dave Koz show was the only one with bad acoustics, so I'm blaming it entirely on the sound board / sound person. The Allman Brothers Band was perfect. Alison Krauss and Union Station was excellent, with the sole exception of her microphone, which on occasion made her a little too loud relative to the band, when she powered through some high notes. Thanks again for taking the time to let me (and everyone else!) know the names of these wonderful and talented musicians! Thank you so much!

You mentioned that the acoustics @ the Dave Koz show were terrible. I would be interested to know how you found the sound of Najee's set.
