The Basement is once again saving us from the ennui of missing a long, long weekend of music — in my former home of New Orleans, the weekend could stretch a few days on either end because people know how to live down there — by providing a place for some live entertainment. Tonight’s sounds come courtesy of Palante Jazz, advertised on the flier as danceable Latin jazz. I’ll gladly take that, and you should, too, as there is no cover and 8 p.m. is a reasonable start time for a late-week gig.
