Be sure to check out gigs by Dave Brubeck (interesting segment on his choral work in a recent Religion and Ethics Weekly episode, by the way) and Esperanza Spalding as well as artists - Hiromi Uehara, Claudia Acuna, Guillermo Klein, among others - who fuse Jazz with other musical genres, such as Folk, Rock, Classical.
