"Angels," a work for seven performers, enjoys an architectural complexity that ably demonstrates Yonally's intentions, the dancers deftly weaving in and out of a series of interesting formations..."Glory Box" not only evokes a seductive, come-hither ambience, but dynamically, defiantly echoes in tap the forceful strains in its raging score....But there's no denying Yonally's own inimitable solo power...Yonally with his zippy, fast-footed attack, glows as an intriguing tap persona for our time...He is matched by the sensational Kendra Jorstad, whose daredevil angles and remarkable athleticism never get in the way of her warmth. This concert is made all the more enjoyable by the quartet of live musicians accompanying each work, especially songstress Leslie Beukelman, mastering everything from pop to scat."
