Jazz pianist/composer Kris Davis has been very good for a while.  But last year, she had her breakthrough with her skewed masterpiece (original usage) Diatom Ribbons, which lifts her up there with the greats:  an original, angular conception, incorporating elements of hip-hop and experimental music, beautifully realized.  Just in time for her turning 40!  Go any night.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Victoria Blamey's revivification of the Gotham Bar & Grill remains the place to eat around here.  I continue to prefer the simpler bar menu to the more complicated dishes on the dining room menu — and also continue to urge you look at the end of the wine list for the natural wines section instead of at the preceding pages of overpriced and underaged unnatural wines.
