I'm really looking forward to the double bill of Esperanza Spalding, and Anat Cohen.
Branford's got a new young drummer who's evidently quite something, so that should be great - reviews of his recent shows have been very positive.
People seem to think Pink Martini are a lot of fun, and I haven't seen them, so I'll look forward to that.
Grace Kelly quintet; Louis Perdomo; Trio Braam/DeJoode/Vatcher, and Yusef Lateef/Adam Rudolph should each be fun in Flynn space.
I'll go to Diana Krall too. I'd feel silly not going when she's 3 blocks away. I like her ok, and her band's terrific these days. I don't think I've ever seen Anthony Wilson play...
That's just the highlights. I'm always bummed to have to miss so much of the outdoor stuff...
