March 23, 2024 at Keys Lounge
Kind of a last-minute set which kind of works in my favor sometimes, because I don’t overthink things. Hence, I went in a lot of different directions, but kept trying to bring it back to jazz. Even the hip-hop choices had strong jazz influences, and only once did I really stray into 80s indie.
