..About Lovely Night
KUTx music writer, Eileen Wolfowicz, had this to say:
It’s finally starting to warm up in Austin, but Aaron Lack’s Vibetet will make you feel like you are sitting by a fire on a snowy night. The Vibetet joined us in Studio 1A to play selections off of his newest album, Lovely Night, which contains jazz covers of songs from the hit musical film La La Land, and a special surprise – Drake’s Hotline Bling. Their use of the vibraphone uplifts the more melancholic songs on the album, and their sense of rhythm and swing will make you want to get up from your desk and dance around. The Vibetet consists of some of the most talented jazz musicians in Austin, so you won’t want to miss their performance at Central Market’s Westgate location from noon – 3 PM on Sunday, May 6th. Have a listen to their Studio 1A session below!

“Lovely Night” is Aaron Lack’s interpretation of the soundtrack to the hit motion picture musical “La La Land.” Fun and upbeat, “Lovely Night” offers crisp production value and a wide range of clever instruments. If you can imagine having a beer at 2:00 in the morning in one of those underground New York City bars while listening to a live jazz band jam, then you can imagine how much fun this album is. I recommend “Lovely Night” to anyone who needs their spirits lifted through the gift of music! Favorite track: Start A Fire.
Aaron Lack’s Lovely Night is a highly intelligent, devoted deconstruction of modern musical mores. His musicianship, and that of his fellow artists, is unquestioned, and his arrangements on this album seem designed to de-stress the very air that surrounds us. Universally evocative, Lovely Night is a necessary addition to the vibraphone and/or Glockenspiel lover’s listening repertoire.
Aaron Lack is one of the finest musicians I know. His energetic and and intelligent mastery of his instrument is displayed beautifully on this record! I have listened to these songs with enthusiasm and have enjoyed every minute. This is a fantastic band and recording! Favorite track: Another Day Of Sun.
