Out of all of the (brilliant) hyperactive Brooklyn bassist/composer Nick Dunston's projects, Atlantic Extraction is my favorite. The combination of styles you can hear underlying this music — jazz, folk, No Wave, classical if you squint your ears — is fascinating; the music turns out just great. And the flute/violin/guitar/bass/drums lineup includes two Witches! Also on the bill is another fabulous bassist, Matthias Pichler, playing in a trio.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Well, Balboa is a Caribbean(-American) restaurant and bar itself. But I'd say the power play here is to drink at Balboa during the show but to eat beforehand at The Food Sermon for some of the best (and most distinctive) Caribbean in town.
