Ten curated Scope NYC picks for Tuesday, April 28.
Rough Trade is at its best when a signing also has a live reason to show up, and this one has the built-in fan heat.
threeASFOUR talking through the work is a stronger art-world Tuesday than another passive gallery lap.
The Jazz Gallery is useful when you want the city's younger jazz life in sharper focus, and this trio slot has that energy.
Kevin Powell at Joe's Pub should pull more than a polite literary crowd, especially with music folded into the night.
Dudamel and Kissin together turns the gala slot into a real calendar event, not just a donor-room spectacle.
McNally pairing Suzy Hansen with Lydia Polgreen gives the talks lane a real New York media-and-books charge.
This Strand event is starry without being empty, and the poetry framing should keep it from becoming a standard celebrity stop.
E-flux giving Reza Abdoh a screening-and-discussion slot is the film pick with the most live context around it.
Joe Lovano at the Vanguard is the Tuesday jazz pick with the clearest center of gravity.
An album release at Roulette gives Hostetter's Ethiopian-influenced program the right experimental frame without making it feel academic.
