Both songs traveled back and forth in different directions, with Calderon finding the perfect rhythm in each. His knowing glances toward Crosby and gleeful nods toward Titus when each locked into the groove with him showed a musician clearly having fun onstage - and fun has always been the operative word in the Jason Crosby Band.
