"Pay What You Can" night at the Woolly Mammoth Theatre is easily one of the greatest things ever. For one measly dollar, one can take in a high-quality performance in the heart of Washington.

Known more for hockey pucks and beer, the Czech Republic is not the world's leading exporter of folk music to the United States. Perhaps it can be attributed to the fact that Czechs, as an ethnic group in America, are not as large or as united or as vocal, as, say, the Irish or Germans.

The Thelonius Monk Institute of Jazz's 18th annual international competition was an invitation to jazz guitarists all over the world, an opportunity to prove their skills on a stage that has evolved into a generational testing ground for the likes of Joshua Redmond, Jane Monheit and Tierney Sutton, among many others. Diversity is always the key ingredient to ensure the talent pools for specified instruments remain fresh. And diverse the competitors were, hailing from Nebraska, Jerusalem and even Norway.
