So tonight I will be heading to The Stone to hear Jacob Sacks and Eivind Opsvik play with Mat Maneri and Billy Mintz. If you haven’t had a chance to hear this band I highly recommend it. The music are all original compositions written by Jacob or Eivind and it’s loose and unpredictable (definitely my kind of thing).
Jacob and Eivind recently released a recording with Mat Maneri and Paul Motian called Two Miles A Day and it is a fantastic recording. It’s playful, beautiful and texturally interesting. There is a lot of wonderful interaction going on and you feel like you’re part of the journey when you listen to it. Check it out and come to The Stone tonight, they play at 10:00pm!
