ISSUE Project Room continues its weekly video feature paying tribute to the late Downtown poet Steve Dalachinsky, created by Dalachinsky's widow, the painter and poet Yuko Otomo, and interdisciplinary artist Matt Mottel.  The various episodes take you around Steve Dalinchinksy's New York (in a very suggestive, figurative way); this week we go spend time in the East Village at CBGB's Gallery and the 6 & B Garden.  The assisting musicians are kind of awesome:  bassist William Parker and pianist Matthew Shipp, two stalwarts of the NYC Free Jazz scene who are so supremely great, so transcendentally excellent in every respect — chops, conception, vision, distinctiveness, sound — that you kind of pinch yourself to see if it's really true you're lucky enough to be alive at the same time as them.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  I don't know about you guys, bu all I ever had at any of the CB's venues was Beer and straight Whiskey.
