• The NY Philharmonic Makes Solid CONTACT!

  
  Lucid Culture — Authority: 125
  The debut concert of Contact!, the New York Philharmonic’ s new-music series proved auspiciously to be a lot more than just a PR opportunity, a brazen attempt to court a younger audience: these people mean business. The NY Phil has commissioned works for decades, but the fact that they selected Arlene Sierra , ...

• CD Review: Charles Evans/Neil Shah – Live at Saint Stephens

  
  Lucid Culture — Authority: 125
  This absolutely gorgeous album – just out on Mostly Other People Do the Killing’s Hot Cup label – is a lock for one of the best of 2009 in any style of music. It’s marketed as jazz, although it could just as easily be called minimalism or classical. It would make an amazing soundtrack if the label could ...

• CD Review: Amy X Neuburg & the Cello ChiXtet – The Secret Life of Subways

  
  Lucid Culture — Authority: 125
  Bay area avant chanteuse Amy X Neuburg’s new album the Secret Life of Subways (picked up by the boundary-busting Starkland label for distribution) is disjointed, it’s rhythmically pretty much impossible to follow and for that matter pretty much impossible to follow at all unless you have headphones on. ...

• Concert Review: Valerie Kuehne, System Noise, Black Sea Hotel, Lenny Kaye and Paul Wallfisch 12/14/09

  
  Lucid Culture — Authority: 125
  The last Beast of the decade (for us, anyway) was one of the best. That such a ridiculously spectacular display of talent doesn’t instantly leap to the top of our Best New York Concerts of 2009 list speaks to how good, and how essential, Paul Wallfisch’s weekly Small Beast concert at the Delancey has become. ...

• CD Review: Minamo – Kuroi Kawa – Black River

  
  Lucid Culture — Authority: 125
  Minamo is the Japanese term for the water’s surface. Beneath this particular surface runs an aptly titled Black River, occasionally bubbly and playful but often murderously powerful. This might be the best jazz album of the year, or the best album of the year in any style – the latest Tzadik cd by the ...

• Strange Girls Sing: Rachelle Garniez, Carol Lipnik and Little Annie at Galapagos, Brooklyn NY 12/9/09

  
  Lucid Culture — Authority: 125
  The concert was billed as “Strange Girls Sing.” Which was something of a misnomer. Rachelle Garniez , Carol Lipnik and Little Annie aren’t really that strange at all, they’re just a reminder – and a harbinger – of an era where quality rather than trendiness or effeteness is celebrated. The way ...

• CD Review: Jon Gordon – Evolution

  
  Lucid Culture — Authority: 125
  The jazz saxophonist’s latest album is aptly titled. He’s evolving in all directions, whether in jazz, classical or further toward the avant as the course of his career has recently swung. It wouldn’t be an insult to say that this is the kind of cd that could wean someone off of smooth jazz – it’s melodic, ...

• Concert Review: The Borromeo String Quartet at Jordan Hall, Boston MA 11/30/09

  
  Lucid Culture — Authority: 125
  The Borromeo String Quartet hardly need the press, but it was awfully nice to be able to catch them in concert. As expected, they brought an element of transcendence to what was, at least from this particular vantage point, a crazy weekend. And it was encouraging to see a good crowd come out for what was a ...
