When jazz refuses to sit still: Mother Raspberry & A.R.C.'s Second Entrée serves up a sonic buffet of rock, jazz, metal and electronic — exploring home video rental, specialty cakes and flavored footwear with Jerky Boys energy. Inauguration of the Frasierdome kicks off their Frasier-inspired concept where it's always Thursday night inside the Dome. Greg Miles Lewis's Sleeping Monuments pushes further into the avant-garde — four interconnected movements of solo drum set juxtaposing free improvisation with through-composed grooves, examining memory and personal history. Meanwhile, Third Platform's YOIN lingers in 1970s Japanese jazz, hypnotic Rhodes and tape echoes — nine instrumentals about the feelings that stay after the music fades.
