TICKETS + INFORMATION

Avant-workoholic John Zorn continues his Birthday onslaught, this time on the jazz side. The rather wonderful New Masada Quartet melds Klezmer/Ashkenazic heads with Post-Hard Bop playingness. Simulacrum answers the musical question, what would the Tony Williams Lifetime have been like if it were masterminded by John Zorn?

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: A fast-casual Global Rice chain might not sound like the most enticing idea. But J.J. Johnson is some kind of culinary genius, and the new branch of Fieldtrip brightens this neighborhood.
