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 Joel Ross, the boss vibes player in all of jazz right now.  Like Bobby Hutcherson before him, he plays beyond well in a variety of contexts, and is incapable of being anything approaching boring or predictable in any of them.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Harvard Fizz:  pour 1-1/2 oz. Brandy and 3/4 oz. sweet Vermouth, with 1 dash of orange bitters, into an ice-filled cocktail shaker.  Stir.  Strain into a Highball glass over ice.  Top with soda water.
