This weekend there's lots of music of all kinds around town due to the University of Rochester's Meliora Weekend, including the Eastman School of Music. Of course, the main event is bassist Ron Carter's appearance here on Saturday afternoon with his Quartet (you bet I have tickets and am grooving to Carter's Dear Miles album while I write this). Later in the week there's chances to hear the Mikolaj Trzaska, Steve Swell Duo, Bobby Militello Quartet with Gap Mangione, and Bob Brookmeyer with the Eastman Jazz ensembles. So much jazz, so little time....
