Epilogue: Jazz in September/OctoberI try to never miss Kurt Elling, be it a quartet, trio, due or big band outing. At the 2023 Twin Cities Jazz Festival, we were treated to a main stage finale from living legend bassist Christian McBride and a new ensemble of youngish heavyweights. Eeg has been to the Twin Cities a few times, and each visit seems to present her at a higher level than before. Prologue: November Jazz in the Twin CitiesNever a dull or a lull on the Twin Cities jazz scene. Jazz Police administratorThe Dakota also hosts another welcome return, one of the Twin Cities’ favorite visitors, prolific pianist Emmet Cohen (November 15).
