I'm a fan of jazz, hip-hop, jazz rap, and other forms of jazz × hip-hop fusion. I geek out when I hear an original song I recognize from a sample, and vice versa.
On CREAM, Kassa Overall and his band tapped into that sentiment but took a different, fresh approach. They reimagined a set of 90s […]

I think it's great that Medeski & Martin are playing occasional improv sets with Metzger & Cline, but 20 years into the Wood Bros affair maybe it's time they stop deferring to Chris and recruit another bassist for a trio (+) tour that revisits the #mmw canon while exploring new directions.

Billy Strings Melts the Snow to ‘Grass in Rochester
Tuesday night is bluegrass night in Rochester. The Angry Goat, possibly the smallest venue for live music in town, has a great long running bluegrass jam hosted by various local artists. But on Tuesday, November 11, bluegrass night in Rochester was taken to a whole other level. Billy Strings was back in town, almost three...

Billy Strings playing Wait A Minute by Seldom Scene tonight transported me back to one of the best encores I ever saw, 4/19/24 St. Aug, when the band played tribute to Ben Eldridge (Wait A Minute) & Dicky Betts (Little Martha, Ramblin Man), both of whom had passed away that week. #bmfs
