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.  Speaking for myself, I am a huge fan of this week's subject, Biophilia Records, which specializes in music you might call jazz without borders (because if there's one thing we've all learned over the last few horrible years, it's that borders SUCK).  Although, I should disclose, I'm just using the term "jazz" just to give you a pointer — I'm sure the artists would prefer "music without borders".  Everyone on this bill is great, ranging from Tropos's Anthony Braxton-fans-go-wild to Sara Serpa's highly poetic Art Jazz.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  I'm sticking with a French Pearl, cuz it's so great and so underappreciated:  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.
