Playing some music that we have heard in venues around town last week. We start with organist Brian Charette and guitarist Frank Varela. Noah Preminger had a gig at The Side Door in CT and brought along Jason Palmer, so they are represented here. From there we crank up the energy with drummer Antonio Sanchez and Terence Blanchard. Then we settle things down with a vocal set featuring Gretchen Parlato and new music from Cecile McLorin Salvant.
