The Velvet Note's Signature Series brings guitarist Oz Noy together with drummer Dave Weckl and organist Brian Charette this weekend. The Alpharetta club is a small listening room, which makes the technical detail of the playing much easier to appreciate than at a large arena show. Listings show Saturday performances, though the promoter's syndicated text contains some mixed-up descriptions, so confirm the final set times with the venue.
The lineup is a good fit for anyone who likes musicians who can really play: intricate guitar phrasing, rhythmic precision and the sound of a Hammond B-3 organ working together. This is more about the groove and interplay than a familiar singalong setlist.
The quoted ticket level is around $69 in a current arts listing. If that seems worthwhile, check the Velvet Note's booking page for remaining seats and whether the early or late show suits the evening.
