TICKETS + INFORMATION

Trumpeter Peter Evans’s Being and Becoming is really one of the very best small jazz ensembles around right now. Boldly experimental, but capable of great lyricism. And vibraphonist Joel Ross is quite simply a monster.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, remember what I said in the last issue about the residency of Fergus Henderson’s St. John at As You Are? (Although looking at the menu, it is a reduced dumb-downed shadow of the London mothership.) Streaming at home, have a Boulevardier: pour 1-1/2 oz. Bourbon and 1 oz. each of sweet Vermouth and Campari into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Stir. Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe. Garnish with an orange twist.
