The future of the Folly Theatre

From the lower balcony, jazz singer Karrin Allyson and her band sounded close to spectacular last Saturday night. Along with swinging and scatting highlights, there were stunning, stillpoint moments of quiet — the lightest touch of a brush on Matt Wilson’s cymbals, a soft, lonely note as Allyson sang one of the doleful tunes from her new CD. That’s the Folly Theater for you. It can sound pretty fine and bring you close to some stirring music.
