Composer Sarah Hennies is having A Moment — and it's richly deserved.  Her music, often percussion-based, is evocative in a way you can't quite put your finger on (the music of her old rock band, Weird Weeds, was the same way), and has glowing textures and shifting, fascinating, intuitive underlying structures.  Piano trio (jazz lineup) Bearthoven and the piano/percussion Bent Duo should play this stuff as to the manor born.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Am I running out of cocktails?  Dunno, but am going to repeat the strangely appropriate Arsenic and Old Lace:  rinse a chilled Martini glass or coupe with Absinthe.  Pour 2 oz. Gin, 3/4 oz. dry Vermouth, and 1/4 oz. Crème de Violette into an ice-filled cocktail shaker.  Stir.  Strain into the rinsed glass.  Garnish with an orange twist.
