For those who don't already know, The Stone is a "not-for-profit performance space dedicated to the experimental and avant-garde" in New York City. John Zorn is the artistic director, so you know there are some good things happening there. As an example, check out this improv set from Thurston Moore and some other NYC downtown jazzers. Thanks to Don Mount for the video! |
