Everybody Back in the Pool
The final installment of the Pool Parties concert series in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, was canceled last week due to a business dispute between event promoter Jelly NYC and Open Space Alliance for North Brooklyn, the group that oversees the state park where the concerts are held.

Chocolate Genius Inc.: In Studio
Chocolate Genius Inc. is the brainchild of the eclectic New York singer-songwriter Marc Anthony Thompson. In recent years his collaborators have included Marc Ribot, Meshell Ndegeocello and Bruce Springsteen.
