TICKETS + INFORMATION

Frankly, I always find there’s something missing from the playing and writing of the highly touted trumpetist Alexandra Ridout: a lack of grit uncomensated for by any particular lyricism. But she gets great people to play with her, so maybe I’m the one who’s missing something.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, Italian with a chance of Ashkenazic at Mark’s Off Madison. Streaming at home, have a Hanky Panky: pour 1-1/2 oz. each of Gin and sweet Vermouth, 1/4 tsp. Fernet, and 1/8 tsp. orange juice into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake. Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe. Garnish with an orange twist.
