Created in New Orleans during Jazz Fest

Ok, Baby is the answer. Softer, but no less sure. Where Hey Baby reaches, this one settles in—like the groove after the band locks together. Creams, silvers, muted blues, and quiet greens layer into a calmer rhythm, still textured, still alive, but grounded.

The palette lightens, but the movement remains. Each stroke feels like a breath, a response, a knowing. There’s confidence here—not loud, just certain.

Together, the piece carries that Jazz Fest balance: energy and ease, call and response, spark and sustain.
