Cross-genre night at the Vision Festival.  So we have master postmodern choreographer Douglas Dunn creating a new piece with live jazz accompaniment; Irreversible Entaglements featuring free jazz accompaniment to the words of slaveship punk Moor Mother; drummer Nasheet Waits's band EQUALITY; and two ensembles featuring Matthew Shipp, a stunning pianist who is truly, in Duke Ellington's words, beyond category (one of the ensembles playing to the abstract paintings of Marilyn Sontag).

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Let's face it, the post-show recommendation for all these long-lasting Vision Festival concerts is going to be the same:  the open-late Building on Bond/Robert combo of casual burgers and semislinky cocktails.
