2 Duke, 2 Monk, 2 Brubeck etc, Then, since I’m most comfortable when people are eating and talking, (all my gigs are restaurants, hotels and clubs), I’ll play background/foreground music while people eat and drink. That will be different and people won’t have to stay late". This is the 76th SOLOX concert at the Red Lantern at Milo, since 2010, and the 27th with GroupMuse. EXPECTING 30-35 PAID ATTENDEES.
