We returned to The Dakota to see The New Standards tonight. We’ve seen Chan, John, and Steve play there at least a dozen times, and they always give a great show. 🎶

Three musicians perform at Dakota jazz club, one at piano, one singing while playing upright bass, one at vibraphone.

We saw BLKBOK tonight at The Dakota and it was a great show and an amazing experience. His performance was unique, passionate, and extremely engaging. We’ll be back for sure. His I AM BLKBOK video is a good intro.
