"After Minneapolis (face toward mo[u]rning)"

It's his first song ever to be consciously connected to a moment in his life and his first with lyrics. He is joined on stage for this performance by an all-star ensemble featuring Gabrielle Cavassa (vocals), Aaron Parks (piano), Joe Sanders (Bass), and Brian Blade (drums).
