The Feel Of Neil A Tribute To Neil Diamond should work if you want rhythm, volume, and very little standing still. Treat it as a nearby option, not the anchor for the whole night.
The American Songbook - Jason ’Spicy G’ Goldman & The 17 Big Band looks like a dance floor night, where the set matters more than the biography. Treat it as a nearby option, not the anchor for the whole night.
Tasha Taylor has a strong, warm lead vocal, giving you a clear filter before you pick the room. Listen to one track first, then decide whether the room is worth the trip.
Natalie Hanna Mendoza is worth hearing if you want the voice in front, not buried under the room. Natalie Hanna Mendoza, hold it as a backup if the sound fits your mood better than the safer bill.
Peter Erskine Trio has Weather Report, Steps Ahead, and LA studio excellence, so this is a sound first pick rather than a venue first pick. Peter Erskine Trio, keep it available if the sound beats the obvious choice.
