TICKETS + INFORMATION

Ralph Alessi is an assured, distinctive trumpet player — one of the best around right now, really — who should be better-known than he is. This is simply an astonishingly good quartet (Kris Davis is swapped in on piano for Jason Moran from the original iteration — and the shocking thing to realize is, it’s an even trade).

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, drink at the Club (although, do they even have cocktails?) — but for God’s sake don’t eat there. Why not jaunt down to the Russian Samovar for some late-night Russian (dissident) goodness? Streaming at home, have a John Collins: pour 1-1/2 oz. Bourbon, 1 oz. lemon juice, and 1/2 oz. Simple Syrup into a Collins glass over ice. Stir. Top with club soda. Garnish with an orange slice and a cocktail cherry.
