Bushwick jazz guitarist Leon Zhu sings about Mr. Kiwi and Market Hotel in his new song ‘Bushwick’

The solo voice-and-guitar track also passes the Myrtle-Broadway junction and the Morgan Avenue L stop. It's streaming on YouTube and Spotify with his take on 'Stardust.'

Two images: musician Leon Zhu, in round glasses and a checked shirt, sings into a studio microphone while playing a red archtop guitar under brass cage lamps; inset, the same session, Zhu smiling mid-strum as a tabby cat watches from a cat tree.
