BEN WINKELMAN TRIO/Balance: The jazz piano man that likes odd meters is back with his new set of switch backs that leave you guessing where it’s improv or composed. The kind of cat that keeps you on your toes but doesn’t indulge in art for art’s sake, he tickles the ear as well as the fancy with this set that just let’s the music do what it will—-and it always does the right thing. Solid stuff that’s going to keep his legend growing.
