    About This Event

    At Bar Bayeux, drummer Steve Williams fronts the Thursday Happy Hour set, joined by guitarist Max Light. Their interplay draws on Williams's steady pulse and quick accents and Light's economy of phrasing, moving between straight-ahead swing and freer open improvisation that leaves space for abrupt turns and close listening.
