INFO + TICKETS
Two intriguing -- no, fascinating -- soloist/composers show up with amazingly good bands. Pianist/composer Sylvie Courvoisier, possessor of a supple, astringent, bracing style, plays with her current working rhythm section of Drew Gress and Kenny Wollesen; she could hardly do better. Trumpeter/composer Nate Wooley has Courvoisier backing him up, together with rigorous-but-rough saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock and avant-vibraphonist Matt Moran. He could hardly do better, either.
MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: The beer and the food at Threes Brewing could conceivably be better. But they're good -- and it'll be open.
