Concert Alvona Johnson and jazz orchestra “Visit”
June 4, 2015
June 3 in Naberezhnye Chelny was a concert “King of the Blues” Alvona Johnson and jazz orchestra “Visit”. The concert was spectacular, and we are eager to share with our readers their emotions.
Once again, we surprised and pleased that at foreign stars made after the show to sign autographs and take pictures with the audience. Unfortunately, from domestic actors almost never do wait.
What about the concert? Great! Throughout the evening ALVONA lit so that the applause did not stop. He played the guitar, humor, talked with the audience in sign language, and after a couple of songs for us to become her boyfriend. And when the artist went for a walk around the room, he finally conquered us. Although we will not dissemble. It happened much earlier …
Another great musical event in our lives. ALVONA Johnson concert in Naberezhnye Chelny completed his tour of Russia. In our city, he visited for the second time, and we hope to see him next year.

Alvon’s voice is silky and soulful with a classic “old blues man” timbre. Yet his style is all his own. Yet his style is all his own. He slips in a slight raspy growl here and there yet tails off on his phrases with a little vibrato that shows a real “class” in his style.
Review by LenCat
“If you have ever seen and heard Alvon, then you know his singing and playing his guitar can send you into ecstasy with his soft, soothing sexy voice and then turn you into a wild woman with his magnificent guitar playing and body movements. This is a true showman, and he gives his all in all of his performances. If you have not been to one of his shows, you owe yourself this one pleasurable evening with a man that can change your life in just one night.”

“April 25 was a concert representative of traditional jazz with American guitarist and singer Alvona Johnson. From the very beginning he conquered the audience with his artistry, virtuoso performances and genuine openness. A full house at the Philharmonic Hall was speaking only of the fact that it was a real feast for the senses.”

His talent as a young man was evident, and singing and playing guitar for a living was an obvious career path.

We had a lucky chance to enjoy the sounds of a treasured source. The dark-skinned American for several years giving concerts in Russia, acted not only in the European part of it, but also far beyond the Urals. Blues-man turned out to be a joker and excellent artist with a cat movements, and easy to move around the stage and in the hall. Some managed to take a photo with him, others – to shake his hand.Not without hopping on one leg – a tribute to tradition. Expressive eyes, facial expressions, dazzling white teeth smile, gestures, short phrases that were translated by well known musician Sayan Bapa.Even the outfit laid out in detail: guitar, shimmering silver, with the inscription «Alvon», on shoes and a dark jacket sleeves – too shiny silver.
He conquered the Guest with undeniably beautiful music. Sang (such as voice and especially outstanding, but here takes the soul) and played known compositions and those that we hardly know each other. Hall if hear recognizable music, react vigorously and applauded. Even singing guitarist. We rejoice hearing works from the repertoire of Duke Ellington or Frank Sinatra. Moreover, they were submitted to individual interpretation of the musician.
Emotions “hit” over the edge. And in the hall – a spark, and how – for 1000 volts! The gallery, traditional, shouting louder than the others. Guest managed to raise all ranks dance. Started! But we have visited and the night star, a fairy tale that has become a reality thanks to ALVONA Johnson and our band.
