Been doing these FDO's since the pandemic, probably 25+ of em at this point. I think today's was maybe the best, musically, of all of them. Three bands doing a set of high-level pure improvisation. Three very different styles, but they all sort of fit together. Rain stopped, skies cleared, lovely breeze. The livemusicgods smiled down on Red Hook today.
Next Freaks Day Out is 8/9.

Last night I got to see Julian Lage in very close proximity at the Stone, accompanying the legendary Greg Cohen on bass. Special stuff.
There really is no place like the Stone. A perfect music venue in almost every way.

Last night I caught a *sick* Simulacrum set at Roulette. Simulacrum being a Zorn project featuring Medeski, Hollenberg, and Grohowski playing the heaviest shit imaginable. Bonkers how much range Zorn has.

Checked out the new jazz club, the Pocket tonight. Unfortunate location pretty much requires a walk thru Times Square which was extra hairy this evening with World Cup revelry. Inside is nice, though, on the swankier side, as you might imagine given the address.
Band was worth it: Joel Ross Good Vibes with Chris Potter, Miguel Zenon, Yvonne Rogers (!!), Kanoa Mendenhall, and Jeremy Dutton. They played 3 songs in an hour's time, largely due to so much talent each needing their solo time. But, such talent!

Also, Freaks Day Out today was a blast with two killer sets of music - from Drew Gardner and Vague Plot - and positively perfect weather for outdoor hanging.
This morning ended being quite hectic, doing DIY shows on your own is no picnic, but worth it in the end. Next one is 7/11, you should come!

I had no business leaving my apartment today, recovering from the weekend and some sort of vertigo, but it was 5 minutes away and I knew it'd be an easy 8-9pm hour of the kind stuff and that it was. New Masada Quartet never not astounding. Tonight, magical evermore for a sold out and rapt Roulette.

Tonight was a special one. Glenn Branca’s Symphony No. 13 for 100 Guitars, also known as Hallucination City. Holy fuck, what an intense and cathartic piece, and loud as fuck. Taken to the great beyond in my brain in the beautiful Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center tonight. A pay what you want show, too. Best city ever, man.

I will never tire of seeing Kevin Morby play live. Probably my favorite songwriter of the past 10 years. Another great one at BK Steel.

Not sure how many "sets of the year" you're allowed to have in a single week, but this one's had quite a few of em, even given my "oh, he likes everything" proclivities. But tonight's Marc Ribot Ceramic Dog set was something especially fierce and may have trumped them all.

Great weekend of outdoor music in deep corners of the outer boroughs.
Saturday afternoon I finally caught Real Young and Lazy Horse at Industry City. They do a very good job of doing the Crazy Horse thing. Lots of deep cuts and long ragged guitar rock outs. Would see again.
Saturday night was Ghost Funk Orchestra playing at the New York Botanical Garden. I think it might be the first time I've seen music in the Bronx? Part of their "Flower Power" exhibition this summer. Excellent liquid light show, very chill vibe, lots of room, band sounded great. They've got three more great shows there this summer (including Woods!). Can recommend.
Sunday was a gorgeous afternoon in Red Hook for Freaks Day Out. Couldn't have asked for a better day/vibe/crowd. Both bands sounded great.
Huzzah!

If you get a chance to see the band Flea is currently touring with, do not, for one second, hesitate to go. Show of the year candidate. Wow!
Doesn't hurt that his band is fucking sick: Jeff Parker, Anna Butterss, Josh Johnson, Deantoni Parks. Killer set of ambient jazz and experimental funk and many points in between.

An absolutely lovely afternoon...
Got wise to an afternoon show happening in a parlor in Clinton Hill, my favorite Marta Sanchez in duo with Maria Grand. Felt like I was intruding on a secret gathering, but everyone was so kind and generous, plus cheese and wine. I should be so lucky to join the club.
The music matched the loveliness of the hosts and parlor, two sets of standards and originals that opened into conversant exploration. As I joked to the host, this is why you keep the piano tuned and ready in your Brooklyn brownstone.
Was such a pleasant afternoon, I scrapped the rest of my plans for the day and night. I mean, how lucky am I?
