Lorenzo and Her Gentleman
Friends
Agnes

By Deni Kasrel

Imagine being in a cozy neighborhood jazz spot. The kind of place musicians visit after their gigs to hang and maybe sit in for a song or two. That's the ambiance of Friends. Lorenzo's pals just happen to include Clark Terry, Jimmy Heath and Al Grey. So the company's right fine. There's a genuine feeling of camaraderie. Lorenzo's pitch is off at times, though her timing never fails.
