From pop music critic Rashod D. Ollison: 

Long Island native TK Blue is getting toward the end of his set at the Paetec Jazz Festival. Playing saxophone and flute, he has a more varied approach than Todd Butler. Where Butler was uptempo, soul-jazz fusion, Blue is doing more of a traditional jazz approach. With ballads and midtempo numbers, he evinces a romantic feel.

Blue and his three sidemen — a drummer, a bassist and a keyboardist — have been producing solos with muscle, passion and warmth.

Neither Blue nor Butler has been particularly chatty: They introduce the songs and keep playing.

The crowd has grown to about 50. It's still mostly middle-aged and older but more attentive than the last one: Nobody is reading, and the toddler is gone. People are paying more attention to the music.

The weather is noticeably cooler now. TK Blue’s more romantic set seems to complement the environment (or is that the other way around?) with the sun going down, nice breezes and lower humidity.
