This trio led by Michael Formanek -- one of the better jazz bassist/composers in this town -- may be Very Practical, but it's also Pretty Spectacular.  The other two members are Mary Halvorson, perhaps the most exciting young guitarist in all of jazz, and Tim Berne , a wildly interesting saxophonist/composer.  Setting the seal on the recommendation, opening the show is Patricia Brennan, who intriguingly combines solo vibes and electronics.
