“All roads lead to the Twins,” proclaimed the late turban-wearing fluegelhornist Bobby Sanchez in his raspy voice as he held court each weekend at Twins Lounge, until his death four years ago. A couple of years later, however, the road to Twins briefly changed as its owners, twin sisters Maze and Kelly Tesfaye, moved the lounge to northeast Washington before getting homesick and moving the invaluable D.C. jazz venue back west to its original Colorado Street location. Tonight, Twins celebrates its 11th anniversary with the “First Annual Piano Summit” at UDC, featuring keyboard masters Randy Weston, John Hicks, Kenny Kirkland, and Mulgrew Miller, backed by saxophonist Talib Kibwe, bassist Curtis Lundy, drummer Steve Williams, and percussionist Sam Turner. The rare opportunity to hear these artists performing on the same stage promises to be a bonanza for jazz piano fans. At 7 p.m. at the University of the District of Columbia Auditorium, 4200 Connecticut Ave. NW. $40. (202) 274-5803. (Joel E. Seigel)
