Two very different shows featuring pioneering Minimalist (West Coast hippy division) Terry Riley -- the most sheerly listenable of all the Minimalists.  The early show features Julian Wachner leading his excellent instrumental ensemble NOVUS and even better vocal ensemble The Choir of Trinity Churchin a program of Riley's vocal/instrumental music (with a ringer from Gity Razaz, a wonderful composer whose work reflects her Iranian roots).  The late show teams Riley with his son Gyan, a formidable guitarist (that's actually understating things), and Gavin Rayna Russom, the synth wizard of dance-rock titans LCD Soundsystem!

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  It's a bit of a hike, but it seems inevitable to combine these shows with a visit to The Four Horsemen, the superb wine bar run by James Murphy, the LCD Soundystem guru.
