Attendance was lighter than I expected for tonight's dance party at SFJAZZ – I thought the Cuban party crowd would be out in full force, but maybe they had other distractions? What with tickets offered at a reasonably low price (under $20 for dance floor admission), I thought it would be an easy sell out. Maybe dancers haven’t gotten the news that it’s safe to go out again?

The band took a few tunes to get warmed up, but once they hit the boiling point, things kept percolatin' for the rest of the show. It was darn good!

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!
