They played samples from his wax tube recordings and displayed his photos of the areas and people he recorded along with his transcriptions. They also exposed profound connections across geography and time talking through their research. Quite a show!<br/><br/>#livemusic<br/><br/> <img src="https://files.shakedown.social/media_attachments/files/117/482/188/795/407/483/original/5999e72e9ec8b7dc.jpg"> 2026-10-22T02:33:46Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqst6a65njdsw5ev79m3ecngv3qqw56f8ddnt70ttq4jlfekpjpym0qzyphdfzgvdrlj0x8avwgl6s4vr3f8ljfnqr7few6xa2dstxd8vzlzz8v7782 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvsynmwlekllm4c6cwwtatwlmaecf392wmghkkvwzwz286hxxvu0cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43qrpe5sj'>nevent1q…e5sj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqa4mkqpmz3vmyp2qghpesx3a5zaca37eeqtv3snzspq3rtyc8tqaqnqacpk" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqa4mkqpmz3vmyp2qghpesx3a5zaca37eeqtv3snzspq3rtyc8tqaqnqacpk</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…acpk</span>)</a></span> I was disappointed but many in the theater clapped at the end (why anyone does that in the first place I do not know) so I was probably in the minority. 2026-06-13T01:22:18Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2dv5kkc0r4qw9qgpt2tjkcmddpmep7sjr5srnp9zlyw7ckl7kheszyphdfzgvdrlj0x8avwgl6s4vr3f8ljfnqr7few6xa2dstxd8vzlzzwxtt9n Closer to your worst than your best Mr Spielberg. 👎👎 2026-06-13T01:10:10Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8xursg2uyvvwcr4vlur5s290se6rmyhwlunl8nlh83rh27cnyxsczyphdfzgvdrlj0x8avwgl6s4vr3f8ljfnqr7few6xa2dstxd8vzlzz4ekuvz Dream Float at Spotted Octopus. <br/><br/>Some pre-Knicks groovy jazz.

The first was out probably within the first month and left a crate of classic country records on the curb when they left, which I now own and listen to. <br/><br/>The second was a musician who had been in the touring bands of Imagine Dragons and Dwight Yoakam and we got to see him perform with local bands quite a bit for the next 8 or so months. <br/><br/>Now our new neighbor is pursuing his PhD in tuba and we can hear his tooting regularly. <br/><br/>If I was a writer I might be inspired to write a book tracing the house through history and how it&#39;s cosmically connected to the musical universe or something. 2026-04-06T20:49:31Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqst9e5rj739j5qt6g9kz8y5v99a04dy92tnxt2x4znkxhp8jfx5nwqzyphdfzgvdrlj0x8avwgl6s4vr3f8ljfnqr7few6xa2dstxd8vzlzzf6qqfy Saw a very unique Miles Davis tribute tonight by faculty from a local music school, including Dave Chisholm who not only plays trumpet but is also a graphic novelist. He wrote a Miles Davis book and his awesome illustrations were projected above the stage. And the quintet was also joined by tap dancers who choreographed dances for the music. A lot to take in. <br/>Check out Chisholm&#39;s books, they&#39;re great.<br/><br/>#livemusic #jazz #milesdavis<br/><br/> <img src="https://files.shakedown.social/media_attachments/files/115/981/528/764/928/547/original/55ba77e32f937df4.jpg"> 2026-01-30T01:56:36Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvlsclvqhyengf7tl5gjh6wv8x0e8y09f7tyx70ckjlvsv83aklgqzyphdfzgvdrlj0x8avwgl6s4vr3f8ljfnqr7few6xa2dstxd8vzlzz4yygtn The hits keep coming in 26.

Killer avant garde madness in perhaps the smallest venue I&#39;ve ever seen music. <br/><br/>Then Sun Ra Arkestra with a tight 45 opening set, featuring 101 year old Marshall Allen, breaking his previous record as the oldest musician I&#39;ve seen.<br/><br/>Then the weekend&#39;s grand finale and main purpose, night one of Yo La Tengo, Hanukkah night one. The obvious and lengthy Arkestra sit-in bore lots of tasty fruit. Great show.
