04/13 Thursday

8:00 PM Mike McNeill

Pianist Michael McNeill continues his monthly residency at the Lily Pad.  "The music that McNeill's quartet makes with Paul Smoker walks the line between abstraction and melody, and their work together is both challenging and palatable, leaning, perhaps, more toward the challenging side." - Saby Reyes-Kulkarni, City Newspaper (Rochester, NY)

10:00 PM B-3 night featuring Spice Works

Marcus Rezak- Guitar
Yuki Kanesaka- Hammond B-3 Organ
Takuma Anzai- Drums

Spice Works is an organ/bass, guitar, and drum trio of the highest
pedigree. Formed in the beginning of 2005 in Boston at Berklee College
of Music, this internationally collective band unites three highly
skilled players from across the physical and musical globe. Takuma
Anzai, Yuki Kanesaka, and Marcus Rezak have spent their lives making
music and becoming masters of their instruments. Together, they create
a sound so exhilarating and unified that it defies explanation. Anzai's
empowering drumming, Kanesaka's gymnast like organ/bass grooves, and
Rezak's impressive guitar work meets in a convergence of
groove-rock-funk and jazzy improvisational atmosphere that is bound to
leave every last person dancing and smiling.
