My favorite band thingNY probably thinks I'm a pathetic fanboy who follows them around New York slavishly. Well, they’re wrong: I'm only going to ONE of these shows. On the bill (same for each show), two terrific pieces from thingNY's Alt Classical songbook: Gelsey Bell and Erin Rogers's Skylight for voice and sax, and Dave Ruder's You Must Read a Lot of Jung for the whole ensemble.
MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In the Bronx, Dominican snacks at Empanadas Monumental. (Be sure to leave yourself time to walk around BCC's fabulous campus.) In Queens, West Indies meet East Indies (and China!) at Singh's Roti Shop and Bar (thank me later).
