Friday: Destination: Out's Loft/Lab
Things to do: The folks behind the great free jazz blog Destination: OUT are launching a new monthly concert series at Salt Space in Manhattan, aimed at recreating "the feel and excitement of the great jazz lofts of the 1970s. It'll be a lab where adventurous musicians can try out new ideas, configurations, and compositions." The first show, a celebration of Steve Lacy featuring Joe Giardullo and Harvey Sorgen, is this Friday. More details here.
