Caught the newest John Zorn project last night at National Sawdust. It's called Flatlands, the band is Matt Hollenberg on guitar, Simon Hanes on bass, and Ches Smith on drums, and it's probably the most exciting new Zorn music in many years (which is saying something!). Blistering combo of metal, funk, and that Zorn/Dreamers sound. Absolute incendiary set. I don't even know if they played more than 40 minutes, but it was such an overwhelming set, it felt like 6 hours worth of ideas and music.
Hopefully they play more soon and on the reg.
Whoa!

Tonight: completed a trifecta of Newport Folk regulars in one week. Brandi Carlile, then Langhorne Slim, and now Margo Price who absolutely crushed it at Webster Hall tonight. Her band is freakin great, with Sean "Weird Ears" Thompson on guitar. He is something special in 3 completely different bands.
And for those who say there are no protest songs these days, all three of those acts had a current of protest energy flowing through their sets, especially Margo tonight, nearly half her set felt charged with either "fuck em all up!" or "we've got this!" energy, not to mention not one but two Dylan covers.
There are few badasses as badass as Margo Price.

Tonight: another Nashville band comes to play the BK honky tonk. Teddy & the Rough Riders doing their best at the outlaw thing and mostly nailing it at Skinny Dennis. They're in town all weekend, worth a look-see.

Tonight: the NYC Winter Jazzfest Brooklyn Marathon is always a fun choose-your-own-adventure adventure. Never know what you're gonna get, but almost always worth the chilly schlepping around Williamsburg.
Already on my second set featuring the legendary Vijay Iyer, Matt Brewer, Tyshawn Sorey, Adam O'Farill at National Sawdust. Sick.

Not a bad place for some livemusic on a gorgeous Thursday evening in July. One of the best parts about living in NYC is free outdoor music in the summer. Hurray for the Riff Raff sounding excellent in Rockefeller Park down in Battery Park. Enjoy the good stuff as much as possible.

Tonight: Hurray For the Riff Raff, equal parts deeply personal folk and fuzzy rock. Sold out at the Music Hall of Williamsburg.
