HipHopSulha_frontTHE700.jpg

Founded by American-Israeli producer, Diwon, and Jewish community activist Daniel 'Mobius' Sieradski The Hip Hop Sulha reinvents the concept of the traditional Arab sulha (reconciliation) by bringing leading Jewish and Muslim hip-hop musicians together to celebrate peace and religious tolerance via the performing arts. In the past, the series has hosted Hadag Nachash, Saz, Sagol 59, and DJ Spooky to name a few. This evening will feature Chassidic Hip Hop/Soul artist, DeScribe, Jamaican Dancehall artist, TJ Di Hitmaker, World club music DJ, Balagan and a special guest DJ set by NYC-based Israeli expatriates, Electro Morocco.


The Tug of War Tour is a thought-provoking and multi-dimensional artistic endeavor that explores narratives of conflict and co-existence between Muslims and Jews. The brainchild of Israeli-American M.C. Sneakas and M.C. Serch (of Third Bass fame and VH1’s White Rapper Show), the tour features the controversial rap group ‘Most Hated’ (consisting of Sneakas and Muslim-Iranian rapper Mazzi), in addition to spoken word poets Vanessa Hidary and Tahani Salah (both of whom have been featured on HBO’s Def Poetry Jam).

Little Joy @ Webster Hall

There is something about the Strokes, where everyone in that band has a magic touch when it comes to their other side projects. Little Joy is a perfect example of this and they are so good that truthfully I like some of their music a little more than some of the Strokes material. I guess that is kind of a bold statement, so I will just say come out to the show check out their tunes and make a decision for yourself. All I can say is they are good, they are real good.

The folks from Dig Deeper, who do a monthly soul party over at The Five Spot Soul Food restaurant in Clinton Hill, are putting together a killer soul festival this weekend at The Bell House. For their opening night tonight, the main event is Barbara Lynn, a Texan whose incredible songwriting, robust voice and adept guitar playing only gained her moderate attention at the height of her career, but has since become a favorite of old soul and blues collectors. Also on the bill are sweet southern soul singer Roscoe Robinson and funky Atlantan Hermon Hitson.

Danish Pianist...

Category: Live Music Permalink

Søren Kjærgaard, Andrew Cyrille & Ben Street, "optics" @ The Issue Room Project

sorenkjaergaard_1.gif

Danish Pianist, Søren Kjærgaard performs his "There is a somnambulant quality to Optics, a kind of waking-life feeling. Søren Kjærgaard, a 29-year-old Danish pianist, recruited bassist Ben Street and the phenomenal drummer Andrew Cyrille for this trio. Cyrille, known for his work with the likes of Cecil Taylor and Oliver Lake, is the senior member, and much of what happens revolves around him. The 14-minute title track that opens the CD demands patience from its musicians. Kjærgaard plots out deep, serious chords, employing dramatic pauses as the rumble of mallets on skins establishes the tone. Street picks deliberately on the upper neck of his bass as Kjærgaard then lays down an ascending series of minor chords. A quiet snare roll, a repeated three-key phrase played lightly--this is minimalist bliss. On "Cyrille Surreal," icy, detached chords play against a reluctant swing rhythm, but things evolve, as they always do, and rowdiness finally replaces inertia. - Jazz Times

Should be interesting.

The album features kaval player Theodosii Spassov on record, who is known for leaving audiences in awe of his technical wizardry, his unique and passionate style and for extending the sonic possibilities of this quintessential Bulgarian instrument (similar to the Arabic ney). He has toured extensively with Trilok Gurtu, Glen Velez and Rabih Abou-Khalil and River Dance. Paradox Trio is Matt Darriau (on sax and clarinet & two unique Bulgarian instruments, the Kaval (end-blown flute) and the Gaida (bagpipe)), Brad Shepik (on guitars and Balkan strings), Rufus Cappadocia (on 5-string cello), and Seido Salifoski (on dumbeks and percussion.)

ANVIL: THE STORY OF ANVIL IN AN EXCLUSIVE AND LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE MOVIE SCREENING AND LIVE PERFORMANCE BY ANVIL! @ Blender Theatre


anvil.jpg

“Anvil! The Story of Anvil” is the directorial debut of screenwriter Sacha Gervasi (“The Terminal”) and follows Steve “Lips” Kudlow and Robb Reiner and their band, Anvil, which released one of the heaviest albums in metal history, 1982’s Metal on Metal. The album influenced an entire musical generation of rock bands, including Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax, who all went on to sell millions of records. Anvil, on the other hand, took a different path—straight to obscurity. The film is both entertaining and touching as it follows their last-ditch quest for the fame and fortune that has been so elusive to them. “Anvil! The Story of Anvil” is a timeless tale of survival and the unadulterated passion it takes to follow your dream, year after year.

Christian Rudder sings a bit like a Yankee Ray Davies, relating romantic trifles over acoustic guitar and xylophone, but the Kinks comparisons really ring true on the band's more rockin' tracks.

Scott Alexander Makes Friends @ Pianos

In the mood for some quirky indie rock reminiscent of Johnathan Richman and some vegan cookies? Then this is the performer for you he cooks his audience food and performs strange songs on a baritone guitar, I mean check out the reviews:

"The deep, extremely deep subconscious of Scott unveils itself between guitar strings, lyric sheets and cookie dough." Dan Herman

"Scott Alexander doesn't really fit into any categories . . . And he really revels in his cheery awkwardness." Brett McCabe, Baltimore City Paper

... Yup Should be an interesting performance.
