Reed's Bass Drum

This event occurs in the past, Feb 13 2011
1353 Cambridge St, Cambridge, MA   (view map)

In addition to being a safe haven for local bands to experiment, the Lily Pad (like Outpost 186, its cousin around the corner) also imports its fair share of standout acts from out of town. In the fall, it was Mike Reed's People, Places & Things from Chicago and Toronto trumpeter Lina Allemano. This winter, my bet is on the trio Reed's Bass Drum (no relation to Mike) out of Brooklyn, with baritone saxophonist Jonah Parzen-Johnson, bassist Noah Garabedian, and drummer Aaron Ewing. Parzen-Johnson is a formidable voice on bari, and the band play the kind of post-bop — knotty tunes, strong grooves, lots of freedom — that has kept the avant-garde alive while shifting the mainstream to the left.
