The HUM returns to NYC with five May dates and incredible collaborations

The fifth season of The Hum has just been announced, featuring over 60 female musicians collaborating in never-before-seen configurations. With support from Madewell, Raaka Chocolate, Hairstory, and co-presentation from Le Poisson Rouge, this appears to be the biggest season of The Hum yet! The first four dates will be at Greenpoint’s Good Room, just a short walk from the Manhattan Inn where The Hum was previously held. The finale will take place at LPR with a huge lineup top

NYC Winter Jazzfest 2017 was a celebration of music and freedom

Photos by Jati Lindsay The central theme of this year’s NYC Winter Jazzfest was social justice, something that can be done a better job of in this country to say the very least. Throughout the festival’s many, many performances, artists would either opt into the conversation or choose to speak through their music, but as we gear up for a Trump presidency, there was no escaping the prompt. If you believe strongly in things like peace and equality, it’s probably a tough time fo

Colin Stetson Forms EX EYE, Playing First Show at LPR This Friday

Earlier this year Colin Stetson reimagined Henryk Górecki’s popular Symphony No. 3 (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs), resulting in an absolutely incredible blend of neo-classic, post-rock, and even some black metal blast beats and intensity. It seems as if Stetson is diving further down that rabbit hole with this new project, EX EYE, a quartet that also features Shahzad Ismaily on bass/synth, Greg Fox on drums/electronics and Toby Summerfield on guitar. The band has no music out,

The first single from the record will be available on June 24th and is called “River In Me” and features Jehnny Beth of Savages on vocals.

SHOW REVIEW: GoGo Penguin Packs LPR With Jazztronica Soundscapes

The stage was set up more or less how Bill Evans Trio would have been 50 years ago: grand piano on the left, bass in the middle, drums on the right. There were probably a number of room in the city set up a very similar way last night, but nothing sounded like GoGo Penguin did. That’s a guarantee, because while the band looks like a traditional jazz trio, their compositions have more in common with their fellow brits like Bonobo, Burial, or James Blake. It’s all equating to s

SHOW REVIEW: Colin Stetson Brings Górecki Back to Life with Breathtaking ‘SORROW’ Perfor

Image via @thehouseofdis on Instagram Colin Stetson recently undertook the task of reimagining Henryk Górecki’s popular Symphony No. 3 (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs). The result is nothing short of phenomenal: a mix of classical music with exaggerated heavy parts and a favoring on low-end brass instruments. Last night, Stetson brought his thirteen-piece ensemble to Le Poisson Rouge to showcase the symphony to a room full of serious music lovers. The three-part symphony runs ab

SHOW REVIEW: Marcus Strickland Celebrates ‘Nihil Novi’ Release at LPR

Saxophonist Marcus Strickland is gearing up to release his new album Nihil Novi this Friday on the Revive Music imprint on Blue Note Records. Last night, the saxophone player got his band of friends together to celebrate the release and give us a sneak peak of the album’s material. Amongst Strickland’s friends were Keyon Harrold (trumpet), Masayuki Bigyuki Hirano (keys), Mitch Henry (keys), Kyle Miles (bass), and Charles Haynes (drums). To make the sound even sweeter, the ban

SHOW REVIEW: Kneebody & Daedelus debut Kneedelus project in New York City

Photo via Kneebody’s Facebook, Photo by Ben O’Brien Smith The marriage of electronics and live bands isn’t always executed well. I’ve seen countless electronica producers make the foray into ‘live band’ territory, and it’s often lacking. On the other side of things, sometimes bands try to employ electronics into their music, and it isn’t quite right as well. Since the marriage doesn’t always work, much like romantic marriage, it makes it all the more special when it does. Suc

SHOW PREVIEW: Kneedelus Playing NYC’s Le Poisson Rouge on Sunday, March 13

When jazz-rock quintet Kneebody and producer Daedelus linked up for last year’s Kneedelus, it ended up becoming one of our favorite records of the year. The Brainfeeder-released LP bridged Kneebody’s instrumentation and musicianship with Daedelus’ out-there electronica style. It’s a roller coaster ride chalk-full of excitement, dissonance, darkness, and free jazz bliss. Like Flying Lotus’ You’re Dead, Floating Points Elaenia, and Nonkeen’s recent release, the record spices ja

SHOW PREVIEW: KING Album Release Party at Le Poisson Rouge

Rising LA trio KING are playing a record-release show at Le Poisson Rouge in Greenwich Village on February 5th. We Are King, the groups debut LP, comes out on that same day. KING just played New York City, actually, as a part of the Revive Music stage at New York City Winter Jazzfest. We missed the set, but according to hearsay at the festival and on social media, it was quite the site. We won’t be making the same mistake twice, and have already ensured our spot at February 5

Kamasi Washington Delivers Totally Different, Totally ‘Epic’ Second Night in NYC

Image via @qbertplaya on Instagram Kamasi Washington scheduled multiple shows during New York City’s CMJ conference, as most artists do. Night one saw the saxophone player bring extended improv sessions to his headlining slot at the BRIC Jazzfest, and night two was along the same lines. This time at Greenwich Village’s home to the avant garde, Le Poisson Rouge. Occupying the slot before Kamasi Washington is no easy task, but Mark Guiliana’s Beat Music held their own. Best kno

Boiler Room Hosts First Jazz Event: Supreme Sonacy @ Le Poisson Rouge [NYC]

Boiler Room hosted their first ever Jazz broadcast the other night at New York City’s Le Poisson Rouge, a phenomenal venue that is always hosting boundary-pushing shows. The show was billed as Supreme Sonacy, which is the name of a new compilation released by Revive Music in conjunction with the legendary Blue Note Records. Boiler Room, LPR, Revive, Blue Note…the night had all the makings to be a unique musical experience, and it totally delivered. The night played out like t

SHOW REVIEW: Flying Lotus Debuts Unreleased Material at Gov Ball After Party [NYC]

Image is as hazy as the night was. via @lprnyc on Instagram Flying Lotus hit the stage in Greenwich Village around 1am. The experimental beat producer had already played a full set earlier that night in a jam-packed tent at the Governors Ball Festival. While the earlier set focused on his newest LP You’re Dead, the late-night show was a little bit more of a free-form endeavor. “I’m just gonna get drunk and see what happens,” was the vibe FlyLo gave the sold out crowd at LPR.
