New Videos from Michael Steinman of Jazz Lives

We are extremely lucky to have the very eloquent and knowledgeable Michael Steinman on our side in New York City. If you've not checked out his wonderful jazz blog Jazz Lives, please do. He manages to catch some of the sweetest and hottest moments in the traditional jazz scene and beyond. Here are a couple videos that I feel fortunate to be in from the past few months. There are many, many more on his blog as well as much beautiful writing!
