Interstellar Groove Command Recorded!
An evening of funk, soul, jazz, and rock much like some of my recent ones. I feel like I found a good vibe for the overall evening. Was pulling random 70s stuff right up until the last minute.
Bye Bye Dry!
Basically the opposite of the previous show, this featured lots of vintage rock and tons of quirky indie stuff. A deliberately unusual show just to shake things up. It was a lot of work, because the songs were quite short, but the vibe was good.
Mellow Fire
Very much similar to the last set, if a bit more irreverent. Tons of jazz and soul.

Soul Kitchen Revival
Didn’t record this late-night set, but it was fantastic, with apparently many folks wanting to get out after Thanksgiving.
Groove Archaeology Session
A list minute set, and a bit early from 5 to 9pm, so I did not record this. Rest assured, it was very similar to the one two nights before.
Cosmic Genre Bender
This was a last-minute bonus set on a fairly mellow night, but the vibe was good and I was able to put together an extremely spontaneous set of records grabbed in about 10 minutes that ended up working really well. I’m not going to post the recording, as one record skipped (infuriating!) and I’m still grumpy about it

An all-vinyl set, I did encounter one skip during a Replacements track, so I will evidently have to find a … new copy of the record. Kind of all over the place in this set, by the third and fourth hours it settles down and you could probably get to bed by the end!

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.
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.
March 16, 2024 at Keys Lounge
The set started earlier than usual, running from 5pm to 9pm, because there was an excellent live jazz performance at 10pm.
February 10, 2024 at Keys Lounge Recorded!
This was a four-hour set filled with basically whatever records I grabbed that I thought would spark joy. Go ahead, listen to all four hours… relive the magic!
