One great thing about jazz is the practically infinite possible combinations of players that exist.  So it shouldn't be surprising that a major jazz festival would keep coming up with them.  While tonight's teaming of the excellent drummerGerald Cleaver with the fluent  sax player Chris Potter, the mind/body-melding Latin jazz pianist David Virelles, and the advanced improviser Brandon Lopezon bass might not quite match last night's all-star trio in terms of sheer jaw-dropping awe-inspiringness, it's certainly something you'd want to hear.  Especially on a bill that also includes trombonist/composer Craig Harris and his ensemble playing his Brown Butterfly, an extended meditation on Muhammad Ali (I don't have to insert a hyperlink for him, do I?).

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Finally (for this week):  the open-late Building on Bond/Robert combo of casual burgers and semislinky cocktails seems apt.
