Ricky Latt, he of the wide-brimmed hat (Goorin Bros, Austin), mutton-chop beard and sparkling suit and bow tie, arrived with an entourage bristling with videocams. Placing themselves strategically across the audience, it was apparent that the low-key chanter has charmed a media-minded crowd. Accompanied by Greg Smith, bass, Danyelle Bryant, drums, De Shaun O Bryan Christopher on keys and De Lontrell Thomas on sax, Latt sang with a sense of humor. In “Soul Food,” he observed that “Everybody want it quick and fast, but nobody wanna make it last. It’s only one thing that makes me whole – keep your fast food. I need some soul. I need a bowl of sooooouul!”
