“Holy crap, the talent in this city!” Vinnie Dagostino says. “You have no idea how deep the bench goes here.” Veterans of Atlanta’s music scene may wax nostalgic for the bygone era of the jazz club, when greats and aspirants alike flocked to five-nights-a-week venues.

Michelle Malone’s new album, Southern Comfort, features five songs cowritten with Dean Dillon, anchored by “I Choke on My Words.” It was the second tune she wrote with him.
