Gilad Hekselman at the Blue Whale

Here he performs from his latest album, “This Just In,” a primarily trio-oriented record due Tuesday that features guest turns from saxophonist Mark Turner. In the second of a two-night stand, Hekselman will be joined by local bassist Dave Robaire and drummer Mark Ferber. The Blue Whale, 123 Astronaut E S Onizuka St., Suite 301, L.A.
