Trading fours is a jazz tradition, where members of an ensemble take turns stepping up to the mic for short solo bursts over the length of the standard jazz chorus.  Take our word for it, it’s energized and exciting & these two individuals are guaranteed to take it to a level that will leave you wanting more…

but inevitably, we’ll take a break around 8 pm, and will follow that with our open mic, which traditionally kicks off with a song or poem by m.c.
