Last week and this week, I’m sharing recordings from the 2020 South Haven Jazz Festival, in South Haven, Michigan. Most of the performances were virtual, on account of the pandemic. We start with the Ivan Akansiima Trio, followed by a set from beat-box saxophonist Derek Brown, and close out the show with a couple pieces from the Blue Shoes Jazz Ensemble.
