neddyo<p>Last night: sometimes you choose the shows, sometimes they choose you. Wasn't the original plan, but caught 2 good ones:</p><p>First: back to the Stone, one more with Kate Gentile. This time fully electrified with M Mitchell synth, A Smiley on guitar + C Lightcap on bass. Wild freeform wall-of-sound shit.</p><p>Second: down to Joe's Pub for Adam O'Farill's album release. Crazy good big band that included M Halvorson, P Brennan, T Fujiwara + more. Very cool pieces that ran the gamut.</p><p><a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nycfreaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nycfreaks</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>livemusic</span></a></p>
neddyo<p>Tonight: a special night at the legendary Carnegie Hall with the voice to end all voices Cecile McLorin Salvant. Man, she is just something else! Tonight backed by her normal trio, the orchestra The Knights, plus special guest for a few songs, Chris Thile. Many chills moments. A cool night in NYC.</p><p><a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nycfreaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nycfreaks</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>livemusic</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nyc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nyc</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/carnegiehall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>carnegiehall</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/cecilemclorinsalvant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cecilemclorinsalvant</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/jazz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jazz</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/christhile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>christhile</span></a></p>
neddyo<p>Tonight: one of my favorite things to hear from a jazz/jazz-adjacent band as they take the stage: we're not gonna stop playing. That was the case tonight at the Stone, controlled chaos from four musicians on an ever-wobbling highwire. Drummer Kate Gentile with Matt Mitchell on piano, Jeremy Viner on sax/clarinet and Kim Cass on bass. A non-stop whirlwind of sound, sometimes an unsustainable gust and others a gentle breeze.</p><p><a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nycfreaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nycfreaks</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>livemusic</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nyc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nyc</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/jazz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jazz</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/thestone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thestone</span></a></p>
neddyo<p>Tonight: friend brought me to see Logan Ledger and I'm glad he did. Wasn't on my radar preciously, but a gem of country folk with a nice old school sound and a voice that was born to sing it. A rare ticketed show at Skinny Dennis, rightfully packed on a Tuesday night.</p><p><a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nycfreaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nycfreaks</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>livemusic</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/brooklyn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brooklyn</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/williamsburg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>williamsburg</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/skinnydennis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>skinnydennis</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/loganledger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>loganledger</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/country" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>country</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/folk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>folk</span></a></p>
neddyo<p>Tonight: Kristin Daelyn at the Owl. She just played her new record straight through, and I dig her new album quite a bit, so fine with me, if not a bit short. But gotta get up early tomorrow, so probably for the best. Such great songs and a nice easygoing Sunday vibe at the Owl. Love that room, need to try and get there more often.</p><p><a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nycfreaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nycfreaks</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>livemusic</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/brooklyn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brooklyn</span></a></p>
neddyo<p>This afternoon: good times in Williamsburg, tasty BEC at Edith’s, then music in the front room at Union Pool with Small Chucks (with some quite touching lyrics) and then over to Skinny Dennis for Alan Lee's monthly hit, always a good time.</p><p><a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nycfreaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nycfreaks</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>livemusic</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/brooklyn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brooklyn</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/williamsburg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>williamsburg</span></a></p>
neddyo<p>Tonight: fulfilling my goal of getting to Close Up as often as possible and not yet regretting it one bit. This time with guitarist/vocalist Dida Pelled with Will Gorman, Spencer Murphy, and the legendary Kenny Wolleson.</p><p><a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nycfreaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nycfreaks</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>livemusic</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nyc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nyc</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/jazz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jazz</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/closeup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>closeup</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/didapelled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>didapelled</span></a></p>
neddyo<p>Tonight: I had to check, but it's been 15 years since I was last in Zankel Hall, which is a shame, because it's a beautiful room. Cool show celebrating Steven Bernstein's Millennial Territory Orchestra 25th birthday. Special guest John Medeski (and Vernon Reid) a nice addition for a couple songs. Such a killer band, sounded great, although the show kind of fell flat for me towards the end. I think it was the setting and the crowd. Still mostly pretty darn good.</p><p><a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nycfreaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nycfreaks</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>livemusic</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nyc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nyc</span></a></p>
neddyo<p>I'm emotionally swinging between total uncertainty at work, anger and despair at {everything}, and complete distracted joy from livemusic. Not sure it's sustainable, but TGIF, I guess?</p><p>Happyplace'd at Barbès for now at least...</p><p><a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nycfreaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nycfreaks</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>livemusic</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/brooklyn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brooklyn</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/parkslope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>parkslope</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/barbes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>barbes</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/jazz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jazz</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/oscarnoriega" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oscarnoriega</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/resideNYC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>resideNYC</span></a></p>
neddyo<p>Let temptation bring me to Barbès for the late show. Imal Gnawa combining ambient electronics with gnawa for some serious zones and drones. Mystical meditations for the win.</p><p><a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nycfreaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nycfreaks</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>livemusic</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/brooklyn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brooklyn</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/parkslope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>parkslope</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/barbes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>barbes</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/gnawa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gnawa</span></a></p>
neddyo<p>Tonight: not sure there's a funkier thing going these days than Daniel Villarreal. Also not sure how he's not packing every room he plays when he comes to town, but that's why I'm not in the biz. But it's more than just funk and I'm more than happy to have more space. This time his band crushing it at the quadrophonic Public Records, just a short walk from home, lucky me. Sizzling Wednesday night. These guys are just so so good. </p><p><a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nycfreaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nycfreaks</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>livemusic</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/brooklyn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brooklyn</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/danielvillarreal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>danielvillarreal</span></a></p>
neddyo<p>Tonight: 16 (!) years ago a friend asked if I wanted to write for a new blog one of the promoters in town was starting. Seen some good shit &amp; done some decent writing for Bowery Presents over that time. We used to have an annual House List outing that died with the pandemic, but tonight it was resurrected 5 years later. Good eats, kinda killed it on the lanes, &amp; jams courtesy of Deadband Bushwick's Dead were actually pretty great. Fun Wednesday!</p><p><a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nycfreaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nycfreaks</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>livemusic</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/brooklyn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brooklyn</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/gratefuldead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gratefuldead</span></a></p>
neddyo<p>Putting together a very strong lineup for the upcoming Freaks Day Out run, got some great acts lined up to play in our little Brooklyn hideaway, aka the FDO Amphitheater. </p><p>Outdoor music season will soon be here!! If you're in the NYC area, I hope you'll come out to one or some or all.</p><p>First one will be 3/30 with Tasca, a fab organ trio.</p><p><a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nycfreaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nycfreaks</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>livemusic</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/freaksdayout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freaksdayout</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/brooklyn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brooklyn</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/redhook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>redhook</span></a></p>
neddyo<p>Tonight: wouldn't miss a Tim Berne Tuesday at Lowlands if I didn't have to. Always a treat to see a band same-but-different a regular gig. Tonight seemed to be especially guitar heavy with lots of shreddy-style solos from Gregg Belisle-Chi, and of course Rainey was sublime.</p><p><a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nycfreaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nycfreaks</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>livemusic</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/brooklyn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brooklyn</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/gowanus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gowanus</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/jazz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jazz</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/timberne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>timberne</span></a></p>
neddyo<p>Tonight: hard for me to fathom I've been stanning Reid Anderson for 22 years. Easily one of my favorite composers of the century. The Bad Plus bassist brings the same keen ear and thoughtfulness to his electronica side project Slow Reactors with Gregg Belisle-Chi (second time this week) and Tina Priceman. Sounded seriously awesome at Threes Brewing.</p><p><a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nycfreaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nycfreaks</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>livemusic</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/brooklyn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brooklyn</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/gowanus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gowanus</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/reidanderson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reidanderson</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/electronica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electronica</span></a></p>
neddyo<p>Happy Friday from the happy hour gang at Barbes, may the weekend be restful and next week less horrifying.</p><p><a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nycfreaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nycfreaks</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>livemusic</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/brooklyn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brooklyn</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/parkslope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>parkslope</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/barbes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>barbes</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/jazz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jazz</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/oscarnoriega" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oscarnoriega</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/resideNYC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>resideNYC</span></a></p>
neddyo<p>Tonight: Close Up is where the youngs play jazz and also where the youngs go to see jazz. Pleasant set from Jeong Lim Yang playing with Jon Elbaz on piano and Jon Starks on drums. Pretty straightforward except when it wasn't. Some surrealist moments. Such a great spot, though, gonna start going there more often.

neddyo<p>Tonight: the best distraction... Tim Berne with his core unit (Belisle-Chi + Rainey) doing their semi-usual thing at Lowlands. No big name guests, so a tidy intimate crowd.</p><p><a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nycfreaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nycfreaks</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>livemusic</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/brooklyn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brooklyn</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/gowanus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gowanus</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/jazz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jazz</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/timberne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>timberne</span></a></p>
neddyo<p>And finally... Man, every time I see Mary Halvorson it's like I love her more &amp; more and somehow leave thinking that was the best I've ever seen her play. This time no different, last set of a weekend debuting new material/new band. The songs are killer and the band - David Adewumi trumpet, Henry Fraser bass, Tomas Fujiwara drums - is *tight*. Incredibly complicated and cool guitar parts matched by trumpet + inventive rhythms. Superb set of music.</p><p><a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nycfreaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nycfreaks</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>livemusic</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nyc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nyc</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/maryhalvorson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maryhalvorson</span></a></p>
neddyo<p>Tonight: third stop = three bona fide shredders tie themselves into knots and back again. Wendy Eisenberg leading a trio with Trevor Dunn on electric bass and Ches Smith on drums, intensity and sweetness at the Stone.</p><p><a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nycfreaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nycfreaks</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>livemusic</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/nyc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nyc</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/thestone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thestone</span></a></p>
