NYC - Fri, April 22 (or maybe Sat 4/23) - anything going on live?

[Rooster_Ties]

Looks like I'm going to be in NYC for work Thu & Fri that week, and could stay over until Saturday (or even Sunday, I suppose).

Thing is, there's a rare Gary Thomas live date (with him as the leader) back here in Baltimore on Saturday (4/23) that I'm really tempted to go to, but I could otherwise catch something in NYC on Friday night (4/22).

Checked the Village Vanguard and Smalls schedules, but have to confess I'm ignorant of the whole scene otherwise in NYC.

Anything going on then that I should be aware of?  Jazz, or even Classical (strong preference for 20th Century, or late-late Romantic-era stuff).

Thanks!!

You can get fairly complete listings off of the latest issue of New York City Jazz Record. http://www.nycjazzrecord.com/

Personally, I would probably go see Melissa Aldana at Smalls on April 22, and possibly the Central Brooklyn Jazz Festival at Sista's on Saturday (Central Brooklyn Jazz Festival: Vincent Chancey All-Stars with Bryan Carrott, Bertha Hope, Hill Greene, Newman Taylor Baker Sistas’ Place 9, 10:30 pm $20) (though I've never actually been to that club).

Excellent in/out quartet at Cornelia Street Cafe featuring Ellery Eskelin & Eric McPherson on 4/22. Plus the bassist Stephan Crump is excellent / not familiar with the trumpeter

Plus I'm going to an amazing show on 4/21 in Brooklyn @ Threes Brewing

2 bands playing Ornette music featuring a quartet with Darius Jones, Nate Wooley, Trevor Dunn & Ryan Sawyer and a quintet featuring Josh Sinton.  

Been wanting to see the above quartet for a while - awesome alto/trumpet tandem with what looks like should be a destructive bass/drum team

3rd set combines the 2 for a Nonet who will play some of Skies of America

Thanks for the tips. I'll probably have to decide in about 3-4 days, so I can get my train tix.

Is there a good classical music calendar on-line anywhere for NYC? (The right obscure 20th century composer might temp me too.)

Thanks again!

Best (only?) hard-core modern classical music calendar I know is Soundart.org

But I checked when you first posted yesterday, and nothing at all on the relevant dates.

Thought of our friend Clifford when these fucking guys play a suite selected from Skies of America with no rehearsal with only a 10 minute set-up by Josh Sinton and some charts. 50 minutes later I'm dumbfounded. Heard the piece 20 something years ago. This thing last night if it was released would bend the 2-3 minds that should be kicking themselves for not being in front of the maelstrom. 2 drummer back line awe-inspiring despite maybe never having played besides each other - how's that work?!?!?

lots of winners all round but that new guy tenor dude from the first band is a real voice, Sinton is always immense, but Nate Wooley and Darius Jones take the cake - they oughtta be - well you know....

wow - why I sometimes take the rush hour 2 hour drive to Brooklyn on a weekday

Pick up Hot House magazine at any club. They give all the listings of clubs all over town and in the tri-state area...
