7:00 PM Scurvy/Ben Kogan
New York based Scurvy weds improvisation and modern song in the language of rock, jazz, and free iExperimental/rock/jazz group Scurvy defies pigeonholing. A product of New York's underground music community, Scurvy weds intricate compositions and improvisations that meld modern jazz, rock, funk, noise, and free improvisation - and they clearly like doing it. Their concerts are mind-blowing demonstrations of musical virtuosity as they successfully prove that Albert Ayler is much cooler than Kenny G.
This performance is part of Scurvy's first Northeast tour.
Scurvy includes members, ex-members, and guests of Skeletons and the Kings of All Cities, Capillary Action, The Silver Arrows. Pull, Local Melons, and the E.R.A.
