As long as I'm making my music ain't gonna do nobody no harm.

Because what New York really needs is more free summer shows.

Of particular note for readers of this blog:

The Respect Sextet play J. Hood Wright Park, 335 Fort Washington Ave (at W 175th St) from 5:30 PM-9:00 PM.

Lily Maase and Brian Adler Project play on Bleecker St (at Thompson St) from 4:00 PM-6:00 PM.

Manhattan Samba play Jackson Square Park, Greenwitch Ave (at Horatio St) from 8:00 PM-10:00 PM.

Composers Collaborative play Terry Riley's In C in the middle of Cornelia Street from 6:00 PM -8:00 PM.
