QFor my concert review, I decided to see John Schott Actual Trio in Cambridge Thursday night. I didn't know what to expect when I came to the Outpost 186 location. It was actually a small group and I didn't expect to see anytime new. I didn't know who the band was nor did I know what I was getting myself into. All I know is that that are based in California.
So when the band started playing, I was shock to see that there were only three men playing. One playing a Jazz like guitar, one playing the drums, and the other man playing a cello. I was actually expecting to hear a piano in this band but that didn't happen either. I also didn't hear any kind of regular Jazz music, the kind we've been listening in class.

Then the guitar started, before finally the cello started and the whole band was in full swing. I would say the songs that were played were good. The band had a good steady rhythm as they went along. As the night went on, I was really enjoying the songs that they were playing. However, there were a few disappointing moments, as the venue wasn't as big as I was expecting it to be.
It didn't really had that Jazz spark onto it due to the fact that it only had three instruments as well as three men instead of having a row of people. The songs had lines that I felt were repeated over and over again. This was done to the point where they weren't that fun to enjoy anymore. It also doesn't help that it was based from California instead of places like Chicago or New York. The band's name really lives up to the expectations! However, in the future, I really hope they add more players in the band.
Other than that, the concert was great! I would give the band about 3/5 stars. While some of the songs are enjoyable and I would have to say memorable, there were times that I wish were better. The band could add a few more instruments instead of having three people playing with three instruments. Other than that I really enjoyed the concert. Hopefully in the future, there will be other Jazz events in the
