On the Town with Jennifer Trynin

The Roxy, 28 August.

For some reason, Monday nites on the Strip bring out the polite crowds and it was no different this particular night. While plugging in my Hearos to get ready for Chuck Prophet, the crowd hushed ever so politely to the point where the lead singer said the crowd could talk amongst themselves for a minute while the band checked their equipment. Chuck Prophet is to a meadow as Tom Petty is to a Wild Flower.

Jennifer Trynin plays Gibson Les Pauls powered by a scarlet faced Fender Super Reverb. This Artist has Uncanny tone control and played in the sweet spot all night long.
Thank God I had my plugs cause the poor people in front of me were experiencing take off and landing decibels. Essentially, the set was the entire contents of Cockamamie, Jennifer's release on Squint/Warner.
The Trynin Trio powerfully reprised each song for the intelligence occupying The Roxy. Behind me was a loge full of Warner Brothers guests and staff checking out the Sound Investment. Jennifer was oblivious to that aspect of this business and seemed more obsessed with the Tone that blew away the crowd. It was gusting Trynin material in the room all night.

Trynin's voice immediately flashes me to Patti Smith. The combination of Jennifer's voice and her words places her in that powerful visage. Jennifer's command of a Les Paul is skillfully effortless: Her chording is a caress of the strings and the paradox proceeding from the Super Reverb is somewhat amazing. Trynin's got an amazing Rhythm Section. They thump.

Trynin's got a sense of humour and conversed with the crowd, addressing the men lapping the stage monitors as "Sir" when they came up with a comment. Jennifer hammered home the point that Better Than Nothing is only one song on a good album. The material is strong. I wish she had sung Do It Alone, but maybe that tune is something personal for her Alone and she may never Do It in performance.
