Forever Tengo
Hoboken rockers Yo La Tengo are one of the most beloved and critically acclaimed groups in the alternative-rock community –- so beloved, in fact, that Lincoln Center has invited the band into its hallowed halls this week to present "Yo La Tengo: The Sounds of Science." In this production, the band performs its songs to eight short films from Jean Painleve, the famous oceanographer and filmmaker known for portraying sea horses, vampire bats, and octopuses with quirky human traits. We get a preview today on the show. Also: tabla master Zakir Hussain stops by. The Indian classical percussionist plays jazz, fusion and scores music for independent films, and has played with everyone from George Harrison and Van Morrison to Tito Puente.
