Ray Anderson Pocket Brass Band @ Cornelia Street Cafe
Turns out you don’t need a full-sized group to reach a fever pitch. Enlist a squad familiar with extended technique while deploying charts that have a soft spot for joyous exclamation and you’re halfway home. Trombonist Ray Anderson has been savvy in such realms for decades, and the new Sweet Chicago Suite reminds that from sousaphone to trumpet his outfit busts lots of cagey improv and crackling clamor.
TONIGHT, 9 pm + 10:30 pm $10 Cornelia Street Café, 29 Cornelia Street
