Hal Willner Residency

You might not recognize Hal Willner's name, but if you're an open-eared NYC music fan, chances are you've savored one of his brilliantly offbeat tribute shows and/or albums. Here, Willner—a walking music lexicon with unerring taste and one of the starriest Rolodexes in the city—invites a variety of guests to help him honor a series of American masters, from Allen Ginsberg and Edgar Allan Poe to Lou Reed and Rahsaan Roland Kirk.
