Calgary jazz/ rock band l’omelette anded some new flavours into their eclectic, electric, horn powered musical recipe, when they returned to the Owl Acoustic Lounge, Saturday, Jan. 21.
As usual the band, powered by the powerful lungs and saxophone of Peter and the Wolves’ Meg Thompson, transcended multiple genres but mostly focused on a groove laden ’70s R and b sound.
They had a good sized crowd cheering and dancing to an eclectic set of mostly original sax powered music in a fun, quirky , groovy upbeat set that sounded like a more jazzy B- 52s mixed with No Doubt and a strong strain of ’70s soul and R and B.
Cormier laid down the beat on drums while Meg Thompson switched between belting out lyrics, belting out sax solos and even playing guitar on a song or two.
In addition to a few covers by the likes of No Doubt, they also played a few brand new songs, which had more Caribbean feel, which made me want to salsa.
They also dipped their toes into psychedelic rock for a few songs for a little more variety.
