The final three duet improvisations by the masterful Leon Oakley, cornet, and Craig Ventresco, guitar, at Cafe Divine (1600 Stockton Street, San Francisco), recorded on Sunday, June 15, 2014:
SATURDAY NIGHT FUNCTION:
AFTER YOU’VE GONE:
MANDY, MAKE UP YOUR MIND (with a particularly lovely rubato verse):
Leon and Craig will be back in their chosen spot on Sunday, July 20 — making their way, tender and brave, through the worlds of music. Divine for sure. And the pizza was delicious.
May your happiness increase!
