Another Jazz Gallery initiative, this one featuring musical segments recorded by the participating artists during the week preceding the stream, and then live chat with the artists afterward.  Saxophonists Melissa Aldana and Miguel Zenón, and guitarist Nir Felder, are all interesting, vital musicians.  Your Compiler has little use for the folk-jazz-pop stylings of Becca Stevens — but your mileage may vary.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Another great Negroni variation:  the Rosita.  Pour 2 oz. Reposado Tequila and 1/2 oz. each of sweet and dry Vermouth and Campari, along with a dash of Angostura Bitters, into an ice-filled cocktail shaker, stir, and strain into a either an Old Fashioned glass over ice or a chilled Martini glass or coupe.  Then, take your position in the controversy over whether this drink is best garnished with an orange or a lemon twist.
