My observations: He's a 2-time Grammy, winner and they are good enough to perform at Dizzy's in NYC. This is not the typical LJS house concert fare... What I hear sounds polished and interesting.  A valid question is "Will they draw well at LJS?" They did a workshop at LPC last year, right? how many attended? A trio is relatively affordable, however. The main constraint is that they are inquiring about a specific date (March 15th 2026, which is a realistic calendar date). From all that, I'd guess that they are pretty busy and touring, so they might not still be available for that date if/when I get back to them.  I believe this is another group that could be persuaded to tack on a brief pre-show lecture, right?
