Great jazz concert

If you're into jazz - or even if you think you're not - you might want to check this all-star trio this Thursday or Friday (August 28 + 29): Metheny/DeJohnette/Grenadier at Bearsville Theater

Metheny is one of the most fiery, exciting jazz guitarists alive, and Jack DeJohnette (who honed his expansive style playing with Miles Davis electric band in the 70s) is one of the giants of jazz drumming. (Bassist Larry Grenadier is no slouch, either.)

It's pricey, but it's a good cause: it's a benefit for the Tibetan Buddhist Monastery, Karma Triyana Dharmachakra (KTD), and Family of Woodstock, a service agency providing food, shelter, advocacy and counseling in Ulster County, NY. And it's at the Bearsville theater, a recording studio-turned-venue that's one of my favorite places to see music anywhere.
