Four top-notch musicians from New York, plus a Louisville native who spends most of his time playing in Germany these days, take a break from teaching at the Aebersold jazz camp for a couple of sets of hot jazz in the acoustically warm lounge at the Bard's Town. These guys are never in Louisville the rest of the year, so you'd normally have to spring for a plane ticket, hotel room and probably a hefty minimum to hear them.
