Ninety minutes, no phones if you can help it

I am not a jazz snob. I just had a night where a quartet played for people who had paid to listen, and it reset my week. No screens. A little talking from the bandstand. A drink that cost too much. Fine.

You do not need to know the standards. You need to sit still. That is a music review and also a manners review. Both felt overdue.

Go. Sit near the back if you are restless. Do not talk during the ballad.
