Pianist Richard Bennett has been making waves in the music community with his very original interpretations and experiments with applying Indian ragas and their inner concepts to the piano. On the spring equinox, he brought his work to the Rubin Museum of Art.

Date: March 14, 2015
Venue: The Firehouse Space (NY)
Review by Dawoud Kringle
As the cold of the winter of 2015 gave way to spring, I went to Brooklyn’s Firehouse Space to hear The 12 Houses Orchestra, the new project led by Matt Lavelle. I was interested to hear what they would sound like.

Event Review: A Night of Funk to Drive Away the Winter Chill – Burnt Sugar Smokehouse
Date: February 15, 2015
Venue: The Delancy
Review by Dawoud Kringle
On the coldest night of 2015, musicians and listeners crowded into the blessedly heated basement if the Lower East Side’s Delancy. Burnt Sugar Smokehouse (in solidarity with the Black Rock Coalition) presented a night of NYC’s finest funk rock.
Event Review: 3 bands…from 3 cities…3 styles of music…very refreshing
Date: January 25, 2015 – Venue: The Cake Shop (NY) – Review by Dante Mann
I attended a performance at The Cake Shop with The Love Experiment, Hildegard, and aStridd. The show was perpetually danceable and the mix of styles proved to be highly cohesive each enhancing the other making for a great overall show.
Boston/New York based alternative funk band The Love Experiment headlined the bill. With three singers, keys, guitar, bass guitar, drums, and some sax on the side they managed to create a unique and modish vibe.
