Feeling like hibernating until the weather clears up? The documentary film I Called Him Morgan is streaming on Netflix. See our review for details. The documentary film Chasing Trane is also on Netflix and we reviewed that too.

Pianist Marc Cary’s Harlem Sessions series settles back into a weekly Thursday schedule at Smoke on February 27.

Tubist Joe Daley is at Terra Blues with Hazmat Modine on February 29.

The NYPL’s Schomburg Center returns with its annual Women’s Jazz Festival on Monday nights in March. A tribute to Hazel Scott kicks off the series on March 2.

Looking further ahead, Vision Fest Promoters Arts for Art is hosting a special event on March 4 at the Town Hall. The Sun Ra Arkestra led by Marshall Allen joins Bassist William Parker who returns with his Inside Songs of Curtis Mayfield suite.
