The Mark Sherman Band at SWEET RHYTHM Sunday, December 12th, 8 & 10pm 88 Seventh Avenue South, NYC $15 cover, $10 minimum; 212.255.3626 www.sweetrhythmny.com featuring Joe Magnarelli-Trumpet/Fluegelhorn Mark Sherman-Vibes Allen Farnham-Piano Phil Palombi-Bass Tim Horner-Drums

This one comes with generous praise from Joe Locke, another fine vibist, who says,
