We’re really excited about this Sunday. This is go We’re really excited about this Sunday. This is going to be an amazing event! Come support the legacy of independent underground music in New York City! …And if that’s not enough incentive, we’ll be giving away a copy of Jesse Rifkin’s excellent book, “This Must Be the Place - music, community and vanished spaces in New York City”, to the first full price ticket to arrive! ticket link in bio #loftjazz #silentbarn #alanlomax #rubulad #undergroundmusic #nycmusic #nychistory #nycmusichistory
#loftjazz #silentbarn #alanlomax #rubulad #undergr #loftjazz #silentbarn #alanlomax #rubulad #undergroundmusic #nycmusic #nychistory #nycmusichistory MOMENT NYC Residential Music Spaces Oral history, archival media, and social dance party Featuring rare materials from Alan Lomax, Studio We, & the Silent Barn Sunday Feb 2nd, doors at 2pm, program starts at 2:30pm at Rubulad address with tix Tickets $10-20 not a flof Creative Remix Social Dance Party NYC has a rich history of residential spaces being used as unlicensed, DIY performance spaces, from Jazz musicians routinely playing at Harlem rent parties in the ‘20s; Yoko Ono and LaMonte Young staging a concert series in Ono’s Tribeca apartment in the early ‘60s; to singer-songwriter Lach hosting antifolk open mics at the Fort, his L.E.S. storefront apartment, in the mid-‘80s; to composer William Basinski and artist James Elaine presenting avant-garde music in Arcadia, their Williamsburg loft, in the early ‘90s. We’ll be celebrating that legacy at Rubulad on February 2nd, by diving into the histories of three very different residential venues from three disparate music scenes: Music historian Jesse Rifkin will introduce a rare screening of Ballads, Bluegrass, and Blues, Alan Lomax’s short film documenting one of the many invitation-only folk music shows he staged in his apartment in the early ‘60s, including rare performances by the likes of Doc Watson, Willie Dixon, Roscoe Holcomb, and Ramblin’ Jack Elliott. The Underground Producers Alliance will present footage and audio from Studio We, the cutting-edge “loft jazz” venue run by musicians Juma Sultan and James DuBoise in the early ‘70s. Finally, promoter and Withfriends co-founder Joe Ahearn will screen and discuss documentary footage and photos from his longtime residence, the Silent Barn, the influential Ridgewood, Queens show space that hosted a wide variety of indie artists in the ‘00s and ‘10s. While this event’s focus is on long-gone venues, it is our hope that this treasure trove of material will illustrate the ongoing importance of non-traditional performance spaces in the city, and perhaps even inspire attendees to take matters into their own hands and create venues of their own.
