Review of Seu Jorge's show at The Taft Theatre in Cincinnati, Ohio. On September 15, 2017 the musician and actor performed the majority of his record The Life Aquatic Sessions featuring Seu Jorge. Those songs are Jorge's versions of many of David Bowie's hit songs, a transculturation solicited by film director Wes Anderson as the soundtrack for his film The Life Aquatic. The show at the Taft Theatre was part of Jorge's tour in honor of David Bowie and his first chance to tour the record. The review includes photos from the performance.
