TICKETS + INFORMATION

I’ve been crazy about the music of alto saxophonist Caroline Davis since I heard her last album, Alula. This is someone who is very attuned to contemporary electronic textures of the more expansive type. Intriguingly, her terrific band tonight includes a coder.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, José Andés Mediterranean at Zaytinya. Streaming at home, have a Vieux Carré: pour 3/4 oz. each of Rye, Cognac, and sweet Vermouth, and 1/2 oz. Bénédictine, with 2 dashes each of Angostura and Peychaud’s bitters, into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Strain into an Old Fashioned glass over ice. Garnish with a cocktail cherry (some people use a lemon twist, but we know better than that).
