TICKETS + INFORMATION

The last shows by the stupendous trio formed 30-some odd years ago by alto player Oliver Lake — the most vivacious player in free jazz — with the great bassist Reggie Workman and the exotic drummer Andrew Cyrille. Sitting in will be saxophonist Bruce Williams and — get ready! — the fabulous piano and musical mind of Vijay Iyer. (There’s a rumor going around that these may be Lake’s last live shows, period — but I don’t know anything about that.)

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, Dizzy’s Club is a place I would recommend not eating in. Better to go to the Uptown Momofuku Noodle Bar and mull over how times have changed. Streaming at home, have a Carnival Jump Up: pour 2 oz. Gold Rum (Trinidadian by preference), 1 oz. coconut cream, and 1/2 oz. each of Grenadine and lime juice into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake. Strain into a Highball glass. Garnish with a lime slice and a pineapple slice.
