I'm all for music that blurs the lines between classical, pop, and jazz.  But Bojan Vuletic is one of those composers who do it in a way that's too soft-edged, so the results too frequently end up sounding like the movie music Vuletic makes a living from.  Nevertheless, this piece -- the latest in a series inspired by artists in various media and their work -- is scored for the enticing combination of trumpet, sax, vibes, and string quartet.  And you couldn't assemble a more imposing bunch of NYC musicians to play it!

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  When ace bartender Kenta Goto opened his eponymous Bar Goto a few years ago, every knew that the Japanese-themed cocktails would be exemplary.  What was more of a happy surprise was how very very good the home-style Japanese bar snacks were.  A great place.
