Back in January we unearthed an old Triple Martini classic that we submitted to Schoolhouse Rock back in 1974. We haven't heard back yet—too soon, Schoolhouse Rock?
Will we take on more current events at our gig this Tuesday (7:30pm at Mississippi Pizza, link in bio)? Only one way to find out!
We're back. We enjoyed the Atlantis Lounge so much in January that we consented to allow them to allow us to ask to come back, which we did, and they said yes, yes, a thousand times yes! (Which, at this rate, will take 250 years, but we've got staying power, so we're in it for the long haul.)
Like we always say, don't sweat the small things, unless those small things are kinda hot...
"All Those Small Things", live at the Atlantis Lounge, January 15th, 2026

A night with Kahil El’Zabar’s Ethnic Heritage Ensemble at Mono Space 02/07/26. A deep dive into the new album “Let The Spirit Out - Live at “mu”London”
The music, the conversation, the stories, and the moment were memorable. Holding this event close for a long time. Captured by Jason Hillđź“·
Some much gratitude to @mono___space for creating these once in a lifetime opportunities in Portland❤️
Turkmenistan’s new national anthem. Unfortunately, it turns out there are no Turkmenistanis competing at this year's Winter Olympics*, so this is your best chance of hearing it. Thanks again to the government of Turkmenistan for commissioning this! (Also thanks to @sing_dance_repeat and @kyclarkejowen for their fine camera skills)
* In fact, Turkmenistan is the furthest north country in the world to have NEVER competed in the Winter Olympics!
Join us tonight for a celebration of singular Black leaders, creators, culture bearers, and movements played by our 12-member jazz ensemble.
7 PM

Tickets are FREE with RSVP!

We love it when our friends and buddies come and guest DJ with us at KMHD…but sometimes folks take it too far. Kudos to esperanza spalding for doing her best Bryson Wallace impression, though! (PS we still have your jacket)
We haven't played an underwater-themed venue since we pulled out of Hill Valley High School's Enchantment Under The Sea Dance because of a contract dispute—we're excited to finally put that in the past!
