TED LUDWIG TRIO
5 p.m., Capital Bar and Grill. Free.
Ted Ludwig is no stranger to people who frequent our town’s more upscale drinking and dining establishments. He’s provided music for the Capital Bar & Grill and Afterthought for several years and, in the process, established himself as nothing short of a Little Rock institution. But just why should you swing by the Capital Bar to hear Ludwig’s trio this week? Because Ludwig and co. began recording a live album at the Capital Bar yesterday, and they’ll wrap it up today. Even more of a draw? Saxophonist Tony Dagradi from the New Orleans-based modern jazz quintet, Astral Project, is sitting in. This is your chance to get a clap — or even a dignified “woot woot” — captured in recording forever. Definitely recommended.
