Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday the Jazz Gallery is putting on these early evening sessions where jazz musicians play and chat with the remote audience (limited to 10 people per show). Melissa Aldana is certainly one of the more winning saxophonists on the local scene (and at the point in her career where she gets better and better), making this well worth checking out — except that it's already sold out (and under these circumstances, cancellations seem unlikely). Look at the Jazz Gallery's calendar for the future shows (I'll be Listing them selectively, as always).
MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: One of my personal favorites, a Tom Collins: stir 2 oz. Gin, 1 oz. lemon juice, and 3/4 oz. simple syrup (we made some earlier in the week, remember?) in an ice-filled cocktail shaker, and strain into a highball glass filled with ice. Top with club soda, garnish with a orange slice and a cherry, if you have one.
