Several nights a week, the Jazz Gallery is putting on early evening remote sessions where jazz musicians play and chat with the audience (limited to 15 people per show).  I'm recommending them selectively, but check out the website for a full listing.  This evening's show features saxman Walter Smith III, who makes in-the-tradition sound fresh.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  I know I plugged this last week, but I'm still feeling a Martinez.  Let's stick with Jerry Thomas's original recipe:  pour 1 oz. Old Tom Gin (you can use regular Gin if you must), 2 oz. sweet Vermouth, and 1 teaspoon of Maraschino liqueur, with two dashes of Angostura or orange bitters (your choice!) into an ice-filled cocktail shaker, stir, and strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe (or a Nick and Nora glass if you have one).
