Tonight: Winter Jazz Fest Brooklyn Marathon! The idea of a jazz festival in a city that is literally a living breathing 365-day jazz festival makes me smirk, but they do a great job with creative booking and I'm in. Stay tuned for potential posts with the #wjf tag.

Terri Lynn Carrington and band mixing hip hop and 80's fusion in a very not-for-me thing that started 15 minutes late setting my evening's plans off kilter.

Mary Halvorson + Tomas Fujiwara, both squiggly and straight. Guitar drum duo'n at Superior Ingredients.

#wjf

Caroline Davis = great. A rhythm section of Chris Tordini on 5-string Fender and Tyshawn Sorey in beastmode = freakin awesome. Love this rooftop space at Superior Ingredients with the Empire State Building views.

After two of the most hit-the-spot tacos I've ever had from the truck out back at Union Pool, more guitar/drum duo with the fab Wendy Eisenberg + Ryan Sawyer.

Still going strong as the hour approaches midnight, even though any semblance of an on-time schedule went out the window hours ago. The explosive Zoh Amba leading this needs-a-name band with Steve Gunn, Shahzad Ismaily, Jim White, back at Baby's All Right.

#wjf

Still going.. Yonatan Gat with Lidner, BenJafaar, Fox. Interdisciplinary jams in the wee hour still at Baby's All Right.

Not that my late night needed a late night show, but over the river to Nublu for a sick sick version of Dave Harrington's Merry Pranksters to close out the night. Have you ever seen Nels Cline shred unholy at 2 in the morning? Whole band is ridic and going with the deep groovejams. Yow!
