Two voices and a trumpet share the small stage at Myron's Cabaret Jazz for an evening that leans into the room's intimacy rather than fighting it. Brandon Estrada and Ryan Beyer trade original songs alongside takes on Great American Songbook standards, the kind of material that rewards close listening and a glass of something good. Benny Benack III joins in as a special guest, bringing his trumpet and his own vocal chops into the mix, which tends to open the door for the kind of spontaneous musical conversation that doesn't happen the same way twice.
At 75 minutes, the set is built for focus rather than spectacle. Expect the stories behind the songs to matter as much as the songs themselves, with Myron's round tables and mezzanine view of Symphony Park giving the whole thing a low-lit, listening-room feel. It's a night that suits people who like their jazz with some grit and warmth, and who don't mind sitting close enough to catch every breath between phrases.
