This List just loves this piano-flute duo, who are not afraid of sonic enhancements or disregard of genre.  So the centerpiece of this show is a new piece by Alex Burtzos for eight flutes and eight pianos, which the duo will play.  You're not surprised to see fellow Paula Matthusen having a piece on the program.  The duo has had a fruitful relationship with the lively Andy Akiho, so it's good to see him represented -- and Mike Perdue is another good percussionist/composer.  That leaves a piece by Ambrose Akinmusire, the excellent young jazz trumpeter whose composing has been getting really good.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Everybody just loves the rustic Italian at Peasant -- served in one of the darkest dining rooms you've ever seen (or, rather, notseen).
