neddyoTonight: one of my new favorite moves, when it works out, is Wednesday opening night at the Stone > late set at the Vanguard. And it worked out quite nicely tonight...
1: cellist Erik Friedlander with Uri Caine, Mark Helias, and Satoshi Takeishi. Like a string quartet and a jazz ensemble met in the middle. Probably all improv, but hard to tell. Interleaved moments of sublime mesh and boundary-traipsing dissonance. When it was working it was something else.
