My Jazz Fest Highlight

This performance by Steve Martin was an All-time Highlight. "Orange Blossom Special" followed by "King Tut" to close. Outstanding. Good review of his show HERE.
Martin held up an iPad and said his set was written on it, noting it was a $500 set list, saying “My fans expect nothing less.” His banter was a constant. “I try to write songs based on personal experience. This one is ‘I Think My Masseuse is Too Chatty’” he dead panned, never lacking in dad jokes for his banter. ”Saga of the Old West,” Martin continued, contains “sadness and melancholy….like the look on my agent’s face when I told him I wanted to be a banjo player.”
