NPR Music's "Live at the Village Vanguard" Series:

[1]The Village Vanguard is, in my view, the world's greatest jazz
club. The Vanguard not only has an incredible history and marvelous
acoustics, but it continues to book many of the best acts in jazz.
If you're a jazz fan but you can't make it to the Vanguard, a decent
substitute is the NPR Music series[2] Live at the Village Vanguard. I
only discovered this series recently, but the folks at NPR and WBGO
record one concert every month or so and post the entire thing on the
web. Some of the postings also include songs or entire sets you can
download to your iPod.
I was particularly excited to see that NPR recently recorded [3]the
Edward Simon trio with Mark Turner. I had hoped to make it to NYC to
hear them, as they are two of my very favorite players and fit so
naturally together, but I didn't make it.
Anyway, if you're a jazz fan, it's definitely worth checking out.
More proof that the Internet is the greatest invention ever.
