To add to the list of events upcoming- Mon. 15th: Ishmael Reed and Billy Bang are colaboratin' a-go-go at Yoshi's. There's acheap late set (10pm) at this normally uncheap spot. Reed, of course, is a text person, Bang is a sound person- mostly by way of a violin, sometimes by way of shouting and generally freaking out. I've never seen either live, but live recordings of Bang I've heard have lots of energy (he's kind of Stuff Smith meets Archy Shepp). All this verbiage is in place of a real review or info about the project, 'cus I can't find either. I was just gonna show up and get surprised.
