Stephen Rush Trio
8 p.m. Saturday
Mexicains Sans Frontieres (Grand Rapids)
$10 adults, $5 students
Pianist-composer Stephen Rush from the University of Michigan last year sent me a snazzy vinyl copy of his “Naked Dance!” album recorded with percussionist Jeremy Edwards and clarinet whiz Andrew Bishop, and I was immediately blown away. This is experimental jazz at its best with an infectious glow. Rush, Edwards and Bishop will perform in this intimate venue at 120 S. Division Ave. on Saturday, part of a mini-tour of sorts that will also take them to Wisconsin on Sunday. (You can also catch them on the air at 10 p.m. Friday on Blue Lake Public Radio, 90.3 FM)
