Andrew Bird is one of my favorite artists and one of the most talented and underrated musicians of recent history. You don’t need to be familiar with the music of the early jazz era to appreciate Bird’s abilities, but it helps. I can’t help but imagine sitting in a run down Argentine bar populated with scoundrels in white linen suits and Panama hats. Sipping bourbon from a Dixie cup in 100 degree heat and 100% humidity and watching the cigar smoke and the shadows of the futilely slow moving ceiling fans creep across everyone’s nervous faces.
