For the concert performance I went to go see David Boyce playing with Scott Foster Quartet and they played songs composed by Joe Henderson; such as Recorda Me and Y Todavia la Quiero.

Then the harmony in the song was well kept throughout, they would sometimes sound like one then would go play their other parts occasionally. When I went to the bookstore that was holding the concert, I did not expect it to be as small as it was. Expecting something like a Barns&Nobles but then seeing something that is the size of my kitchen and living room
