TICKETS + INFORMATION

Saxophonist Alfredo Colón says he likes Free Jazzers Sonny Sharrock, Ornette Coleman, and Pharoah Sanders because of their melodic approach to improvisation. Which is exactly why I like them, too. How’d he leave out Albert Ayler, though?

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, fancy Austrian at Koloman. Streaming at home, have a Santo Libre: pour 1 oz. white Rum into a Highball glass over ice. Add the juice of half a lemon. Top with Sprite. Stir. Throw in 3 mint leaves. Garnish with the rest of the lemon cut into wedges.
