Chris Pitsiokos / Javier Areal Velez / Kevin Murray: First Blush

By MARK CORROTO

Was this gig at New York's Downtown Music Gallery in January, 2020, a one-off performance?

Steve Lehman's new The People I Love debuts (with the addition of the formidable pianist Craig Taborn), definitely a must-hear for 2019.
