Saxman/bandleader Kamasi Washington successfully recreates the moment in the late '60s when hard bop jazz players took a lot of acid and integrated elements of free jazz and Coltrane raga into their music.  It was immensely appealing then, and it's immensely appealing now.  Washington's large-band concerts are events — one struggles to stop oneself from calling them "love-ins" — and this exquisitely detailed, overwhelmingly ornate theater will provide a perfect setting.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Before the show, stop into Jen's Roti Shop, which is truly a cut above.
