Thu Aug 05th 6:00PM
This is a monthly opportunity for artists associated with the cafe–from every genre and every generation, past, present, and future–to gather informally, schmooze, re-invent the world, and hoist a glass of quelque chose (the only kind of chose to hoist). Our glorious curators are present, you can buttonhole them to find out what’s cooking, you can introduce yourself to other toilers in the vineyard, invent projects and discover collaborators. All are welcome.
Robin, Angelo, and Tom, hosts.

MARY HALVORSON TRIO
(Mary Halvorson, guitar; John Hebert, bass; Ches Smith, drums)
The success of her acclaimed 2008 debut, Dragon’s Head (Firehouse 12 Records), led critics to call Ms. Halvorson “probably the most original jazz guitarist to emerge this decade” Peter Margasak, Chicago Reader and “the freshest, busiest, most critically acclaimed guitar-slinger out of downtown Manhattan/Brooklyn right now” Howard Mandel,Jazz Beyond Jazz. “A singular talent,” adds AllAboutJazz.com’s Troy Collins, “Brooklyn-based guitarist Mary Halvorson has come into her own as a composer and improviser…light years ahead of her peers, she is the most impressive guitarist of her generation. The future of jazz guitar starts here.”
