Theatre Review: Haberdasher Theatre is remounting “The Wonderful Remix of OZ.” A modern version of the classic tale.
Date: August 17, 2013
Venue: 13th St. Repertory Theatre
Review and photos by Dawoud Kringle
In the small, out of the way, and comfortable 13th Street Repertory Theatre, an audience of Saturday evening revellers and aficionados gathered for The Wonderful Remix of Oz (directed and adapted for stage by Haberdasher Theatre‘s Hollie Klem and Jeanette Jaquish). The very name promised an unorthodox comedic romp into an urban retelling of the classic; and a lot of fun. This was a promise they kept.
Concert Review: The Mast – moving into a different realm than it was on their previous release “Wild Poppies.”
Venue: Glassland Gallery (NY)

Review by Dawoud Kringle
My previous exposure to The Mast, the duo of Haleh Gafori Kilmer and Matt Kilmer a year or so past, was impressive. Their live performance and CD release was marvelous (you’ll find my review here: https://doobeedoobeedoo.info/2012/03/13/cd-review-the-mast-wild-poppies-how-did-profit-trump-well-being/). So, on a recent Sunday night, I trekked into an obscure area of Williamsburg to hear what they’re doing these days.
The act before The Mast was Nitemoves, a laptop player / DJ. He had a musical sensibility, and was an interesting performer. While some of his melodies seemed little different from the melodically unsophisticated synth bands of the 80s, he did create some interesting things and made creative use of his computer’s possibilities. His music was always changing and never became monotonous.
Concert Review: The Cambodian Space Project (Cambodia) takes us on a trip to the past, the now, and the future, and that is nothing short of 4th dimensional magic
Venue: Drom (NY)

The other night I went down to the east village to check out The Cambodian Space Project (CSP), a band whose sound is so incredibly nostalgic and reminiscent of surfy, British 60’s rock one might think they traveled through time from the past, or that they record soundtracks for Quentin Tarantino on the side. Either way, CSP music takes you back. Continue reading
Concert Review: The Quartet with No Name – Daniel Carter/On Davis/Dmitry Ishenko & Dalius Naujo making a name @ Nublu
Date: August 15, 2013
Venue: Nublu (NY)
Review and photo by Dawoud Kringle
On a late cool August night, Daniel Carter on trumpet, sax, On Davis on guitar, violin, and electronics, Dmitry Ishenko on bass, and Dalius Naujo on drums began the time honored musician’s ritual. Electronic rumbling with indistinct loops and long tones on a muted trumpet tore away the curtain and opened the way for sparse notes from the guitar, drums, and bass. A groove vaguely reminiscent of Miles from the Bitches Brew phase began the guitar played Rhodes-like chords that made one wonder where the keyboardist was.
The drums and bass continued to explore ever changing grooves, the guitar commented on everything that was going on, while the trumpet went where it saw fit; flowing through the dense tapestry like incense smoke.
