JOE LOVANO AND GONZALO RUBALCABA Flying Colors (Blue Note) Other saxophonists settling comfortably into jazz stardom might start taking the easy route, but not our man Joe. Duetting with Rubalcaba, a prodigiously gifted Cuban pianist, Lovano keeps the mood spiky and adventurous. Well-chosen jazz standards and edgy originals are given searching interpretations that bristle with pungent and, at times, open-ended improvisation. B+
