Thinking of checking this out

I saw this at 2019 winter jazz festival and it was one of the highlights. I recommend highly!

That is not tonight is it? I wanted to go…

Oh, it is during the Super Bowl when I am hosting an anti-Super Bowl party, duh. I should have checked my concert schedule more thoroughly.

should probably resurrect this thread for sorta-kinda-post-covid planning

I was mentioning this set of improv for Derek Bailey tribute shows on the jazz thread... $25 tickets! I'm likely going Saturday.
