[Police] nobel peace prize concert

Well flipping between the Nobel Peace Prize Concert and Area 51: Secrets Revealed (Fox is my guilty pleasure) I happened to catch Botti playing muted with ... Cyndi Lauper. She sang Time after Time, a very lovely tune. And Botti sounded good. I just wish he would spend his talents on real jazz. (Hope that doesn't get me in trouble.) The rest of the concert (as much as I caught) was pretty uninspired. Tony Bennet, Patti LaBelle played standards. But there was a large ensemble pop group called the Polyphonic Spree (from Texas somewhere). They were good. A wierd character fronting it, but their music was good. M.
