Celebrate Brooklyn!
Julie and I went to Brooklyn on Friday night for a concert series called 'Celebrate Brooklyn!'. Three jazz bands were playing a free show and I am a fan of the headliner, The Bad Plus. The music was great, but the jazz atmosphere isn't felt as much when you're outside and the sun is still up. Regardless, The Bad Plus put on a good show. They're a relatively new band and known for their innovative style and interesting covers of songs by bands like Nirvana, Blondie and Bjork. Anyone interested in jazz, especially modern stuff that doesn't suck, defininitely should pick up their two albums Give and These are the Vistas. Then, go support them next time they play at the Vanguard.
Celebrate Brooklyn! lasts all summer long and brings in some pretty good shows. Most are free to cheaply priced. Rufus Wainwright and Ben Folds are playing together in August for $35. So go see these guys play and support the music scene and Brooklyn.
