I’m really excited about this weekend. Last year around this time I saw Kenny Washington with the Bill Charlap Trio at the Village Vanguard and a couple of years ago I saw them at the Dakota here in Minneapolis. While watching a live stream doesn’t compare, it’s the best option we have to see the masters play live and I’m not complaining!
