Violinist Jessie Montgomery and bassist Eleonore Oppenheim are two terrific musicians -- and they're not afraid to be as much fun musically as the Pop-Up Concerts' grab-a-chair-on-the-stage-and-have-a-beer format is socially.  As a duo, they do cross-genre improvisations in a style they describe as "post-minimalist groove Americana".  I think they need an additional "post" in there -- but either way this sounds extremely enjoyable.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  It wouldn't be a Miller Theater Pop-Up Concert if I didn't remind you that the show's early curtain gives you time to get to supernal steam-table soul food mecca Manna's before its absurdly early closing (the Frederick Douglass Boulevard branch is the closest).
