The concert took place on Sunday October 2, 2022 and was a resounding success. A highlight was a long jam by the trio during which Roberts interpolated contemporary modal hard bop with 20s jazz, showing just how modern jazz was in the day of Gershwin. They also performed a piece by Roberts that fit perfectly with the re-arranged Gershwin piece. The audience was extremely impressed with the concert and gave a long standing ovation. After the concert there was a question and answer meeting during which people were able to directly address the musicians and ask them how they were able to pull this off.

This sort of blues centered piece with room for improvisation seems like a great way for the Memphis Orchestra to go. Let the other orchestras cover all the Germanic greats and let Memphis be Memphis, as Moody himself said in praising the orchestra's performance ... "We know how to get down and dirty".
