superband is totally the word here. not much more to be said about that! the venue, on the other hand, is a bit mysterious. as far as i can tell, the riverview supper club closed in 2000 and the site is now condos. and yet, the occasional later reference on the internet, like this tim warfield setlist from 2016 or this caitlin robertson setlist from 2019. (i’m not familiar with those musicians, btw.) the cover is an old photo of the original riverview supper club (1980-2000), and details of its namesake are no doubt out there somewhere. ps, the cover is not in the zip file; click on the image if you want it.

here’s a little something that i was listening to over the weekend while doing a bit of work. it’s a lovely quartet, and a very nice audience recording that ‘perks’ uploaded to dime three days after the show.
