Let me be upfront: I don't like spoken word, I don't like story-telling, I don't like concerts themed by lectures, and I don't have much patience for the smug non-news programming on NPR. But when the musical portion of a program convened by Radiolab's Jad Abumrad is supplied by such stone personal faves as Caroline Shaw (doing "abstract" covers of ageless Appalachian tunes), Bora Yoon, and Shelley Washington (tonight playing solo baritone sax) . . . well, I have to take notice.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Now that it's cooling off at night, I can recommend the somewhat cheffed-up Polish at Dziupla with a clear conscience.
