Jonathon Haffner's Life on Wednesday

Saxist-composer Jonathon Haffner leads an outstanding band of improvisers in a set that's likely to include pieces from his recent outing, Life on Wednesday, a raucous disc that ropes in free-jazz squall and roots-rocky twang alike. Joining the leader are keyboardist Craig Taborn, guitarist Wayne Krantz, bassist Eivind Opsvik, and drummers Ben Perowsky and Kenny Wollesen.
