Jazz By Night, tonight

Almost missed the beat.

How did we almost miss this one? Tonight Media PA hosts Jazz By Night with 16 venues offering live music. Legendarey sax man Bootsie Barnes plays at the very high tone Brodeurs with guitar phenom Giga Shane as part of the group. Shane can tear up some Gypsy jazz in addition to Philly style jazz. Down State Street at Picasso the ratio of Gypsy to straight ahead jazz is inverted with the Stephane Wrembel Trio. Under 21 listeners should try 7 Stones Cafe where Elliot Levin, who has added sax and flute to everything from Klingon Klez to Odean Pope, holds forth. The latter appears tonight with the Hummrummers at Quotations. Western swing is on the far edge of jazz and it's a pleasure to see Media making room for local Bob Wills disciples Beats Walkin' at the Plumstead. Check the event website! I'm not gonna reiterate the whole list, though they are all worth seeing.At $15 ($10 in advance if you scoot over to one of the clubs early!) you can't beat the price.
