Jazz at Mad Monkfish (Boston)

Leave a comment

You know what else they have in the big city? They have Jazz, every Sunday, played by Berklee professors. There is even “cowboy jazz” about which we will say no more.

The drinks are not bad either.

We are sorry to report that Julia has joined a gang.

Who is this guy? The Church of David Byrne

It was Boston. It was Wang. It was not Wang Chung.

Little David.

Big David.

Playing in a Church.

OK. OK. It wasn’t a church and it didn’t burn down. But boy was there dancing. Our whole balcony bounced…especially during the Talking Heads covers.

Maybe it was a church.

With naked people.

And very small performers way down there.

Floating up above the suburbs.

Running

Into the 1970s Rock and Roll gestalt

Anyway, hallelujah

The visuals were astounding. And the hits were hits. This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)

.
Things were white

And way down there

Little ants

Singing songs about Slippery People.

No wait, it’s New York. And we’re all in David’s apartment. I wish we were invited in.

Life During Wartime involves some kind of ice skating simulation

.
This is the sort of thing you only experience Once in a Lifetime.

.
Wait. Once in a Lifetime twice? What’s going on here.

.
I guess we were invited after all. Everybody’s Coming to My House he said.

.
And then it all came to a flaming end Burning Down the House.

.
Goodbye band.

Goodbye very small David.

Cocktails and Retail?

Do we like shopping? Hells no. But we are beginning to like it.

Proper cocktail hour in a pretend speakeasy up high. Boston proper.

Firelei Báez and Wordplay at the Boston ICA

As always the art is up on 4.  It’s up to you to figure out how to get there.

Word play was fun, but kind of annoying with a voicemail overdub droning on like a message from the ’80s.

Of course we interacted.  We Obey!

 

The whale exhibit was a good idea with very lame execution. Maybe that was intentional? Who knows. Computers do much more than the rendering engine the artist decided to use was capable of doing.

Then there was the excellent work of Firelei Báez. Well worth the price of admission.

 

I have your nose.

Excellent cocktails, interesting food, and world class jazz.  If you get a chance to catch a Sunday show in Cambridge at the Mad Monkfish, just do it.
