Our hit is tomorrow, but this year's New Languages Festival launches tonight at 9 PM with sets by The Color Now (Ty Cumbie, guitar; Daniel Carter, winds; Adam Lane, bass; Lukas Ligeti, drums) at 8 PM, Miles Okazaki (w/David Binney & Christof Knoche, saxes; Jen Shyu, voice; Hans Glawischnig, bass; Dan Weiss, drums) at 9 PM, and Tyshawn Sorey (w/Ben Gerstein, trombone; Todd Neufeld, guitar; Chris Tordini, bass) at 10 PM. Assuming all goes well and I get all my advance shit together, I'm going to try to make it down for the big opening. Massive props to Jackson Moore, Aaron Ali Shaikh, and Ty Cumbie for all of their hard work in putting this festival together -- it takes a lot of blood and sweat to make a scrappy DIY festival like this happen.
The New Languages Festival is at the Living Theatre (21 Clinton St. between Houston & Stanton) tonight through Saturday. $10 a night, or $25 for all three.
