The seductive sound of jazz is drifting out of the Knitting Factory's door, so get out of the cold at the 2008 NYC Winter Jazzfest. Musicians from Japan, Russia, South Africa, Brooklyn, and everywhere in between make up 23 groups showcasing the rich genre's many facets. Highlights include bassist Omer Avital, a musician with aggressive and sentimental sides (see "Homeland" versus "Night Song"), and violinist/erhu player Meg Okura and her Pan Asian Chamber Jazz Ensemble. Okura's off-the-cuff runs are exceptional — she's collaborated with artists ranging from Herbie Hancock to R&B diva Mary J. Blige. Hang up your winter coat — the music's hot enough inside.
