The Devil I Knew New York Performances

“The Devil I Knew” arrives at Dizzy’s Club as a live jazz set anchored by vocalist Nicole Zuraitis. The title frames the evening as a study in familiarity and reckoning, using song as a way to name the private antagonists people learn to live with. Heard in this room, the music sits in conversation with New York’s long habit of treating jazz as both nightly work and civic record. Zuraitis’s writing favors clarity over ornament, which makes the emotional turns register without being underlined.
