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.  I wouldn't fail to recommend any show that included such ace pianist-composers as Kris Davis and "Orange" Julius Rodriguez (he drums, too!).  But the entirety of tonight's program showcases a nice range of styles.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  I don't know anyone who's ever drunk a French Pearl and not loved it:  muddle 1 mint sprig and 3/4 oz. each lime juice and Simple Syrup in a cocktail shaker.  Pour in 2 oz. Gin and 1/4 oz. Absinthe.  Add ice.  Shake.  Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe.  Garnish with another mint sprig and a lime wheel.
