It's funny in a way for pianist Anthony Coleman to be playing at Russ & Daughters.  He was part of John Zorn's Radical Jewish Culture mob years ago, but he remarked onstage at LPR recently that he now considers himself "post-radical, post-Jewish, and post-culture".  Nevertheless, here he is.  Whatever he does, it'll be thought-provoking, underlyingly sardonic, and reflective of a steel-trap mind -- and, no matter what he says, it'll sound at least vaguely Jewish, just like Mahler.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  I'm repeating myself, but you'd have to be some unfortunate combination of a fool and a churl to be listening to a free concert at Russ & Daughters Cafe and not avail yourself of the best (albeit admittedly pricey) appetizing in the world, along with surprisingly good cocktails.
