Jazzbos frustrated with short sets and expensive drinks can take solace in the Winter Jazzfest. Musicians from New York, New Orleans, Cuba, Chile, and the world over comprise the 22 groups playing for ten straight hours. Staggered set times and the participating clubs' close proximity make venue-hopping easy and minimize downtime for the sonically insatiable. Highlights of this year's particularly diverse lineup include Robert Glasper, an experimental pianist who's equally comfortable playing with his trio or the Roots, and nu-jazz drummer Will Calhoun, who's played with everyone from Paul Simon to Lauryn Hill. Hit Sullivan Hall early for Theo Bleckmann's unusual take on scat singing.
