Is it really possible that star trumpeter Dave Douglas -- one of the best players in all jazz -- is playing two nights in Crown Heights?  Looks like it.  Unusually for this series, Douglas is fronting the same ensemble each night.  Good thing, when it's his fascinating new band Engage, featuring a winds/guitar/cello/bass/drums lineup.  What's more, the winds are played by Brooklyn fave Anna Webber, the cello is Tomeka Reid, and the bass is Nick Dunston (whom we haven't heard since last week).

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  I'll start recommending other places around here than Cajun funster Catfish, I promise.  But I just like it so much.
