TICKETS + INFORMATION

John Zorn — son of a Ukrainian émigré — is organizing a benefit for the beleagured country. It’s still in the works, but what he’s arranged so far is amazing: a duo consisting of himself and Laurie Anderson; a solo set by Philip Glass (no less); a set by Zorn’s fab New Masada Quartet, and one by a trio led by its guitarist, Julian Lage (his new album is just great); a quintet led by Joe Lovano and Dave Douglas (as potent a front line as any Art Blakey fielded in the glory days). One is almost afraid to see what more Zorn can add. I’ll send around advance ticketing info when it becomes available.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Good Middle Eastern (and not the stuff you see everywhere else) at Kubeh.
