Bebop Spoken There

Kenny Garrett: "I think about the past and the elders and connecting everything together, and it being as a whole, or as one." - (DownBeat, December 2021)

Kai Hoffman: Kai' Friday Night Show - The Great American Songbook. July 24

Kai Hoffman (vocal); Roger Lewyn (piano).

A solid selection of gassers by Kai and Roger. The Great American Songbook is in good hands.

Kai's bubbly personality and Roger's perfect backing made this an enjoyable evening. They don't climb any mountains or dig any holes, they just let the songs speak for themselves, albeit with the occasional appearance by Lulu, Kai's lucky black cat. How's she lucky? Well she's sharing a household with Kai and can hear her singing every day - maybe she (Lulu) even does some backing miaows.
