-----------January 26, 2007Concert Report: Triumphant QuartetI enjoyed a concert by Triumphant Quartet earlier this evening in Rutherfordton, NC. With several standards in their repertoire ("Don't Let The Sandals Fool Ya," "Terrible Time Down There," "Walk With Me," etc.), a flair for showmanship, solid vocals at every position, and an award winning piano player, this group is at the top of their game right now. I've noticed they also go out of their way to be friendly, not just to their fans, but also to groups who share the stage with them. Triumphant does a variety show. Few groups can pull this off successfully, but Triumphant shifts easily from re-making a contemporary hit like Aaron♦Jeoffrey's "He Is," to Josh Turner's "Long Black Train," to a modern SG quartet style with songs like "Hey Jonah" and "One Holy Morning" (a song that COULD have been a Top Five easily had Triumphant's version been released as a radio single). Then there's the musicianship of Jeff Stice, who isn't merely featured quickly on the program. Stice played no less that three piano solos (including "Last Date" and "Georgia On My Mind") on the first set and at least one more ("Hallelujah Chorus") on the second. After the show, Scott Inman allowed me to preview a couple of cuts from their upcoming Daywind release. One song I heard ought to turn a few heads. I won't spoil the surprise other than to say the song blends male quartets vocals with another popular genre. The other song I heard was a very good ballad with a memorable hook titled "The Great I Am Still Is." The long instrumental intro will probably have to be trimmed if they single this cut to radio, but in a concert setting, it should be a show stopper. Labels: Concert Review
