TICKETS + INFORMATION

A set of new pieces written by saxophonist Alfredo Colón for his terrific new quintet. Colón has said 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, eclectic New American at As You Are. 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.
