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.  This week's show gets the nod for Rafiq Bhatia, who plays guitar and does electronics and is totally unconcerned with genre — and is one of the most consistently interesting musicians on the current scene.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  I'm still sticking with a French Pearl, cuz it's so great and so underappreciated (and everyone who tries it loves 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.
