In April 25th, 2015, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8M hit Lamjung Nepal. It was the worst natural disaster to strike Nepal since the 1934 Nepal–Bihar earthquake. An avalanche on Mount Everest was triggered, killing at least 19 people, and another avalanche was triggered in the Langtang valley. The quake affected Bangladesh, India, and China, with approx. 8800 dead, 450,000 displaced, and damages estimated at over $5 billion (USD – 20% of Nepal’s GNP).

On Sunday, May 17th, 2015, the Whynot Jazz Room hosted a marvelous evening of music which was curated by Andrea Wolper and part of the Why Not Experiment? Series.
The evening started with the duo of Vinny Golia (woodwinds), and Ken Filiano (bass).

Review and video by Dawoud Kringle (video by courtesy of Subtle Realms Trio)
On a beautiful evening, the first Sunday of May 2015, The Subtle Realms Trio was scheduled to perform at the Skinny, a bar on the Lower East Side. The Subtle Realms Trio is Dan Kurfirst (drums, percussion), Ben Cohen (saxophones), and Will McEvoy (bass). A new project started by Kurfirst in the early part of 2015, Subtle Realms evidently seeks a more sublime musical element to build from.
