Clubbing in Brooklyn (delinquent/flickr)Live Music, Low Profile
Underground clubs offer a sneak peak at next year’s buzz bands and DJs. Today on the show, join guest host Beth Fertig to find out why musicians and fans alike are heading for secret and not-so-secret venues in Brooklyn. Plus, innovative jazz vocalist Kurt Elling performs songs from his latest CD, Nightmoves, live in our studio.
A Scene Grows in Brooklyn
Houses, galleries, restaurants, and other unusual spaces are moonlighting as the city's farm system for cutting-edge music. We talk with Time Out New York music editor Mike Wolf and longtime area DJ Jim "Small Change" Dier about the enduring appeal of off-the-radar venues. But what if you live next door to one? We hear from Arline Bronzaft, chair of the noise committee on the city's Council on the Environment.
Leave a comment: Tell us what you think about underground clubs. Why do you go? Are they an important part of the cultural landscape -- or a nuisance?
Kurt Elling
Kurt Elling is shaking up the art of jazz singing with his offbeat song choices and highly individual voice. He has earned seven Grammy nominations, and is consistently ranked among the best male vocalists in jazz polls. He performs live in our studio.
