I love going up to New York to hear jazz. But it had been a while since I'd made a solo trip up to the city. So when I saw a free weekend approaching on my schedule, I figured I'd seize the opportunity and immerse myself in the music for a few days - Thursday 4/23 to Saturday 4/25. I started out as any sensible person would - checking to see who would be playing at The Village Vanguard that week. Amazingly, pianist Brad Mehldau was appearing with a trio with Larry Grenadier
