There is no more interesting, distintinctive, and fun-to-listen-to trumpeter in jazz than Jaimie Branch.   She plays tonight with two ensembles:  a trumpet-drum duo (tonight with computer visuals) and a trumpet-cello-bass-drums quartet.  Branch's playing is always described as "ghostly" (yeah, I like Miles Davis and Don Cherry, too).  Although she now resides in Brooklyn, she comes out of the Chicago contemporary jazz/experimental scene, and her forward-looking, experimental style is characteristic of that city's contemporary music.  Here in Brooklyn, she's a breath (no pun intended) of fresh air.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  You just know I'm gonna send you to that great Korean spot Insa, right?  And that I'm gonna tell you to skip the tabletop barbecue in the dining room and eat in the bar / lounge?
