Day 3 of Mtl Jazz Festival (for me) was wild. Great masterclass by @natesmithdrums.bsky.social, early exposure to new Thundercat material (can’t wait for the next album), caught a bit of Derrick Hodge’s set (with @bigyuki.bsky.social!), and a revelatory set by Elijah Fox that was the best yet!

Is there any band better than @theroots.bsky.social? @questlove.bsky.social has the stamina of drummers half his age, Black Thought has unlimited breath control, and every member of the band is a virtuoso player and consummate performer. They were so good tonight I didn’t hate being at Rebel!

I always enjoy seeing the @snottynoserezkids.bsky.social. These guys are just getting better with time, and can really rock a show. Thanks to @downiewenjack.bsky.social!
