## Notes

Last night's late set was so good that I had to come back for more, and happily, the [Patricia Kopatchinskaja recital](2020-01-26) on my calendar wrapped up at 7 PM: perfectly timed for me to dash down Franklin to buy a walk-up ticket and catch the fourth and last set of the weekend from the Zig Zag Power Trio.

Two repeats from last night, but performed somewhat differently. _Street Priest_, in particular, was performed as "just the head", since the band was already overtime by that point. I'm glad they decided to squeeze it in: 75 minutes seems more reasonable to me for a single set show than 55 minutes to an hour!

If the guys named any of the other tune titles tonight, I didn't catch them ... could be that I wasn't paying close enough attention, or that I was sitting a few rows further back tonight ... I did my best at jotting "impressions" instead, so that's what you'll read up above unless someone can correct things.
