TICKETS + INFORMATION

In the mid-‘70s, the late reedsman Sam Rivers kick-started the great New York Loft Jazz scene at his Studio Rivbea. Indeed, the seminal document of that scene, the multi-artist multi-disc set Wildflowers, was recorded at Rivbea. Now, a bunch of musicians who either played at Rivbea or would have if only they had been born sooner assemble over five days at Rivbea’s actual location, not so much to pay tribute as to bring the spirit back.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, all-day Mexican at Atla. Streaming at home, have a Green River: pour 2 oz. silver Tequila, 2/3 oz. green Chartreuse, and 1 oz. lime juice into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake. Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe. Garnish with a lime twist.
