This is a brief (accreting) account of Art Themen's gig at Cambridge Modern Jazz (in Hidden Rooms, Cambridge) with his New Directions Quintet on Thursday 11 May at 8.00 p.m.
One can rely on the medic for a bodily or blue joke, but, at @camjazz, Art Themen missed the quip that Jarrett made with the Nude Ants album

Drawl or slur it, and it sounds like New Dance - one of the album's tracks...
