Tom's second SJ Jazz Summer Fest gallery is up - this one deals exclusively with Dafnis Prieto's  amazing Proverb Trio. They improvise everything - chords, form, lyrics, grooves - but it's not the abstract madness you expect from "free jazz" - the musical materials are very accessible to the ear so what you hear sounds composed even though it's improvised - truly amazing.
