Description

The neon-lit Hotel D'Orsay sign looming over the back room's stage (on which alt-lit freshmen air out their slam poetry and Brazilian bongo kings groove impromptu) is not the only attitude at this Park Slope hideaway. The burly bartender is blunt and stone-faced, but is happy to break out rarely imbibed aperitifs, and teach you the way Ernest and Ezra drank Pernod and Ricard in Paris back in their literary day. Try a Barbes, basically a Cosmo with dashes of Chambord and Pernod. Stay for the band, and you won't be disappointed; this is one of the finest world music venues in town.

Ingrid Laubrock's Anti-House

By Jim Macnie | Wed, December 07, 2011

The gnarled swoops of the saxophonist’s tenor can be a smidge off-putting—her communion with dissonance is deep—but the nuanced clamor she and her ensembles concoct has been particularly exciting as of late, begetting a finely crafted web of intri... More »
Mat Maneri

By Jim Macnie | Wed, November 09, 2011

In the past two months, three musicians have felt the need to tell me that Mat Maneri is the heaviest improviser around. It's tough to say for sure, but there's no question that the violist’s work teems with imagination: From solo excursions to sm... More »
