A Jazz Gallery initiative featuring remote sessions where jazz musicians play and chat with the audience (limited to 15 people per show).  If tonight's musician, trumpeter Jonathan Finlayson, has ever had an uninteresting musical thought or played a boring note, I wasn't there to hear it.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Don't try the Rubicon at home.  Oh wait.  Put a sprig of rosemary at the bottom of a rocks glass.  Cover it with 1/2 oz. green Chartreuse.  Pour 2 oz. Gin and 1/2 oz. each of Maraschino liqueur and lemon juice into an ice-filled cocktail shaker.  Shake.  Light the Chartreuse in the glass on fire (and for God's sake be careful).  Let it flame for a few seconds and then extinguish it by straining the liquid in the shaker over it (I swear this sometimes works).  Put in some crushed ice.  Quickly.
