The Ninety Miles project wasn’t just about the three American musicians involved with it and the fact that they traveled to Cuba to lay down some tracks. Really, it was a recording-studio summit between saxophonist David Sánchez, trumpeter Christian Scott, vibraphonist Stefon Harris, and Havana-based pianists Rember Duharte and Harold Lopez-Nussa, made possible by recently [...]
Nothing screams spring like a country hoedown, and that’s exactly what the gang from D.C. podcast and live talk show You, Me, Them, Everybody has planned for its takeover of the Mansion at Strathmore. In addition to comedy, the group is also planning an Easter egg hunt, a series of craft activities led by Morgan Hungerford [...]

And sadly, Mitch Winehouse (yup, father of Amy) has canceled his show at Blues Alley. If you're looking for something arty and sexy, Snarky Puppy—featuring a bunch of sidemen from the bands of Erykah [...]
If biker rallies, Monday brunch specials, and the Nationals (presumably) getting their asses handed to them by the Phillies aren't enough to fill your Memorial Day, consider closing out the long weekend with a free show by the Chicago songwriter Daniel Knox, who will be playing tonight at the Looking Glass Lounge.
