“Tuesday Happenings”: Hosted by Devin Daniels with Julien Knowles, Paul Cornish, Logan Kane & Jonathan Pinson puts Sam First in singer-songwriter mode on Tue, with direct voice and small-room focus. The first verse carries the setup.
Jason Hayashi Group with Steve Lehman, Luca Mendoza, Ryan Embola & Jonathan Pinson makes Sam First a seated Wed room for writing, phrasing, and quiet attention. The lyric gets the last word.
"Third Thursdays" with Miles Lennox Quartet with Nic Gelin, Nolan Nwachukwu & John Davis keeps Sam First in craft-first mode on Thu, strongest when the songs land with close detail. Careful ears get more back.
Larry Goldings trio with David Piltch & Joe LA Barbera gives Sam First a compact Fri bill, where a few well-cut songs can carry the night. Less volume, more shape.
