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.
A half-vinyl, half-digital open format set at the Ritz-Carlton downtown. Unfortunately, due to a miscalculation in battery charge, I don’t have the full set list.
The set started earlier than usual, running from 5pm to 9pm, because there was an excellent live jazz performance at 10pm.

This was a delightfully late set, with a generally laid-back and mellow vibe. Lots of long jazz tracks, but also a lot of my usual eclectic mix.
This set ended up similar to the previous evening’s, but since no one present would have heard it, what the heck. There was a lot that worked here, and some of the combination and blends were very fun to listen back to.
