I'll second the rave on Sonny Rollins live. Saw him last September and he played to the standard that many have claimed for him: the world's greatest living improviser. He and Ornette Coleman are pretty much the last of the jazz giants who walk the earth---both are 78---so I'd say take a plane if you have to. That goes for Ornette, too, who I saw in February. Inspirational, and better than ANY hifi experience.
