Killer Bob + Gym, Deer + Jonah Parzen-Johnson + The Due Dilligence

One of a number of solo saxophonists currently channeling avant-jazz methodology into a highly personal and emotive sound—see also Travis Laplante and Colin Stetson—Jonah Parzen-Johnson gigs in the ’Burg, where he celebrates a cool new full-length, Michiana. Parzen-Johnson's plainspoken compositional vision impresses as much as his formidable command of circular breathing and other outré techniques. Also on the bill is Gym, Deer, a hypnotic Brooklyn art-soul outfit.
