Music Menu / News Harris Eisenstadt, Futurebirds tonight (4/7/11)

Posted By on Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 10:09 AM

Harris Eisenstadt This N.Y.C.-based percussionist’s pages-long C.V. includes records and play-dates with everybody from Yusef Lateef and Sam Rivers to Nels Cline and Les Claypool; compositions for independent and Hollywood soundtracks; Mandika drum studies in Gambia and performances with musicians from Bali, Ghana, Iran and Morocco; works with the Lincoln Center’s jazz education series, and way too much more to include in this paragraph. His ensemble’s new record, Canada Day II,  is another dazzling foray into the space between trad jazz and open-ended improv: Vibes-shaded beats shifting dreamily from one time-sig to another while melodies, loosely tethered, glide over and around them, and occasionally through fields of dissonance. With locals Great Architect likely debuting new adventures from their upcoming LP, Cultural Games. $5 donations. Dialect Design. www.dialectdesign.com. (John Schacht)

Futurebirds It’s a bit jarring when a strolling acoustic number bursts into psychedelic noise, guitars blazing in feedback and reverb. Futurebirds weave such songs rooted in country and rock. Could it be the birth of psychedelic honky-tonk? The Athens sextet channels Dylan or even The Band, but are quite original in their strumming and composing chops. The band’s new EP is due in mid April. $10. The Evening Muse. www.theeveningmuse.com. (Samir Shukla)
