Alto saxist Darius Jones is one of my favorite horn players.  I'm not sure I'd say he's avant-gutbucket so much as inherently soulful; but if you like your jazz to be fresh and inventive but solidly informed by the tradition, he's your man.  This quartet — being recorded for a live album — swaps in the outstanding Young Lion Joel Ross on vibes for the usual piano.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Friends swear the Texas barbecue at Hill Country is still really good.  Who knows?
