This performance will be part of a two-week long West Coast tour celebrating the new album. In 2017, Rosenblum made his West Coast debut to mark the release of his debut trio album, Instead (4 stars, Downbeat Magazine). Highlights of this tour included a well-attended performance at Kuumbwa Jazz Center in Santa Cruz, CA, and two sold out sets at Cafe Pink House in Saratoga, CA. Rosenblum and his trio recently returned from a two-week tour of Japan, and they toured in the Midwest and Canada earlier in the year.
