“What makes ‘What Makes It Great?®’ great? Well, Kapilow is as enthusiastic as the Energizer Bunny and profound at the same time. He is learned and funny, and he edifies the musically experienced at the same time as he reaches non-musicians in the audience. (‘I didn’t think I was teachable,’ my husband said, shaking his head in amazement, after attending his first Kapilow ‘What Makes It Great?®’) He has perfect pitch in orchestrating the interplay with his confederate performers, just as he does in making sure the audience gets the points he wants to make. I’ve heard wonderful concerts in New York this fall (as I do in Ann Arbor). Almost none touch the exhilaration of a ‘What Makes It Great?®’”
