Carlos Santana brought his “Corazon Tour” to the Turning Stone Resort and Casino in Verona , NY this past Sunday after a Saturday night performance at the Seneca Niagara Casino Events Center in Niagara Falls , NY and before his Columbus Day concert at the Modell Center for Performing Arts at Lyric Opera House in Baltimore , MD.  Lisa and I witnessed the Turning Stone show.    The musicianship, tightness of the show, and exemplary individual performances of the band made the TS show a remarkable event.   Carlos continues to cement his musical legacy as a master guitarist and musician who creates a solid band of which he is a member even if he is the focal point.   The individual solos were fantastic and matched the intensity that each member of Santana displayed.   The percussionists were superb.   The vocalists on point.   The guitarists and keyboardist worked in a unison that aligned the notes and compositions ...
