I was psyched to hear Anat Cohen's Tentet again, but I was a bit surprised at how tightly tonight's show overlapped the one I heard in May at the SFJAZZ center. Maybe I should have bought tix to the late show instead? I guess I expected them to have a larger working repertoire.

Phillip Lutz posted an interesting article about Anat in this month's Downbeat Magazine.

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!
