Roulette

I thought it appropriate to dedicate a posting to one of my favorite venues in New York City—Roulette. They continuously allow innovative musical voices, whether they be composers, instrumentalists, improvisors, or anything else under the sun, to perform and have their music heard.

With attendance to all creative events currently lacking, it is important that there be a means to present the contemporary forms of all art. Roulette allows for this. I encourage everyone interested in music to check out something presented here. Roulette fulfills a very important role in the creative world of New York City. Go to their website. Look for something of interest. Support live performance.

(Also of note on their website is the great catalog of videos of past performances. Great videos of Billy Bang, Robert Black, Margaret Leng Tan, Ikue Mori, and many more.)
