"When he released his debut solo album, 2021's Absolutely, Dijon Duenas put out an accompanying live video of him performing in what appears to be the room of a house. He and a small collective of musicians, including regular collaborator Michael Gordon, who performs as Mk.gee, orbit a dining table swarming with instruments, half-empty beer bottles, and coffee cups.
At first, it seems like too minimal a setup to convey Dijon's dense, abstracted soul music with any fidelity, but it works because, as filled with esoteric detail as his music can be, it is fundamentally homespun-something that can be made by a few people in a room. Of course, the camera pans back to reveal they're playing on a set in a studio.
