If I weren't so friggin poor, I would quit my job just so I could see the Evan Parker and John Zorn duo tonight. Evan Parker is in the middle of his two week residency at the Stone, John Zorn's club in Alphabet City, NYC. Sorry for letting you know a little late, guys. You've hopefully not already missed sets including Ikue Mori, Richard Teitelbaum, Peter Evans and Joe McPhee, among others. Don't miss sets with Chris Corsano, Fred Frith, Matt Shipp, many many others. If I were so inclined, I might use phrases like, "most important living...." or "who's who of...." Tristate area, cross out every appointment in your rolodex. Below is a duo with Ned Rothemberg from 2006 at Roulette and a pristine 1970 clip of a Globe Unity orchestra performance of the Brotzmann penned "Drunken In The Morning Sunrise", including Evan Parker amid...well...everybody.
If going, get there early. I went to the duo gig with Milford Graves, and when I arrived at the Stone a half hour early, I was greeted by a line of 50+ folks lined up down 1st St.
The place was really packed and hot, so they left the door open. About 30 minutes in, Zorn comes running in freaking out, apparently because fire marshalls or police were nearby, ending a pretty rawkus set. Good show, but wish it had been booked somewhere comfortable like Abrons Art Center.
